Croatian law re joint owners

[Helen]

Hi, I co-own a property in Southern Dalmatia with a friend.

I have heard UK wills would not be sufficient. Does anyone know if you need to have Croatian will as well to ensure if the worst happened to one person, their equity would pass in line with their wishes?

We would appreciate any knowledge on this, otherwise we will speak directly to solicitors.

Thank you

you are in in the wrong forum for this question

My UK lawyer in the past has advised me that you probably should have a Croat will to ensure you dont have a problem- when and if the EU takes HR under its wing then might be different

We recommend that everyone should have a Croatian will (officially lodged and registered at the local courts, not just held on file by a lawyer) to cover their assets here.

A Croatian "will" means:

I will... give my property to the powers that be.
I will... pay whatever amounts requested of me to the powers that be in the form of 43% tax, country taxes, county taxes, city taxes, village taxes and street tax, not to mention all taxes requested of me.
I will... speak no evil of the powers that be.
I will... be a push over.
