Members of the foreign service enjoy a specific legal status whilst performing their du
ties. This status is also defined by immunities from the jurisdiction of the host state. At
the same time, succession proceedings involving them (e.g. concerning family members
who enjoyed a similar immunity at the time of their death) constitute an exception to the
application of immunity in civil matters. The aim of this article is to answer the question
of what changes the application of the European Succession Regulation No 650/2012, in
force since 2015, has brought about in the legal status of members of the foreign service.
This is particularly significant when one takes into account both the connecting factor
of the law of the habitual residence—as adopted in the Regulation—which defines the
applicable law in matters of succession, and the exclusive jurisdiction over succession
matters (provided that such jurisdiction lies with an EU Member State applying the Re
gulation).
