International inheritance law is a set of norms regulating hereditary relations,
which are directly related to the legal order of several states. Inheritance relations are a very
“conservative” sphere of civil turnover, connected with moral ideas, family customs and established
traditions in society. In such countries as: the USA, Canada, Australia, inheritance does
not matter, but the liquidation of the property of the testator, which is carried out in the form of
a separate procedure and under the direct control of the court. Upon completion of the personal
administration procedure, the remaining property will be forwarded to the heirs. The opening of
an inheritance is a legal fact, as a result of which inheritance relations are created.
