Kernrechtsfrage
Whether Swiss authorities had jurisdiction to open the testament and issue a new heir certificate
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The conditions of Art. 88 LDIP were not met, and necessity jurisdiction under Art. 3 LDIP was also unavailable.
Extrahierte Begründung
Foreign authorities were not shown to be inactive regarding Swiss assets; Lebanese law appeared to follow universal succession, and the testament had already been opened in Lebanon.
