Inheritance after a death in Sweden
When someone dies in Sweden, the EU Succession Regulation decides which court handles the estate and which law applies: as a rule, that of the state where the deceased last had their habitual residence — not their nationality or the place of death — unless they chose the law of their nationality in a will.
Debt recovery against a debtor in Sweden
A debt owed by someone in Sweden is usually recovered in steps: a formal reminder, then court proceedings and enforcement. Within the EU the court and the enforcement of a judgment follow common rules, so you can often sue where the debtor lives and enforce the judgment in Sweden without a separate recognition procedure.
