Beijing Jingsh (Shenzhen) Law Firm’s International Affairs Committee Holds Cross-Border Estate Succession Seminar and Launch Ceremony for the Handbook on Foreign-Related Succession Legal Services 为进一步提升涉外法律服务专业能力,深化跨境继承及婚姻家事领域的实务交流,推动涉外法律服务经验总结与专业成果转化,2026年10月29日,京师深圳律所举办“跨境遗产继承实务讲座暨《涉外继承法律服务手册》发布仪式”。本次专题讲座特邀京师深圳律所涉外专委会主任、仲裁员赵宝莲律师、中国执业律师、中国香港执业律师(事务律师)陈秀芝律师联袂分享,同步重磅发布《涉外继承法律服务手册》,目的是拆解外籍被继承人境内遗产、中国香港遗产继承的法律适用、办理流程与实操难点,结合真实案例厘清涉内地、中国香港跨境继承的风控要点与解决路径。 To further enhance professional capacity in foreign-related legal services, deepen practical exchange in cross-border succession and family matters, and advance the consolidation of experience into professional deliverables, on 29 October 2026 Beijing Jingsh (Shenzhen) Law Firm held a “Practical Seminar on Cross-Border Estate Succession and Launch Ceremony for the White Paper on Foreign-Related Succession Legal Services.” The seminar featured joint presentations by Zhao Baolian, Director of the Firm’s International Affairs Committee and arbitrator, and Chan Sau Chi, a PRC-qualified lawyer and Hong Kong solicitor. The Firm also launched the Handbook on Foreign-Related Succession Legal Services, aiming to unpack the applicable law, procedures, and practical difficulties in succession to estates in Mainland China of foreign decedents and to estates in Hong Kong, and—drawing on real cases—to clarify risk-control points and solutions for Mainland–Hong Kong cross-border succession. ▲ 活动伊始,马静平律师致欢迎辞,对到场嘉宾及参会同仁表示热烈欢迎。她强调,本次专题讲座为京师深圳专业精细化与跨境协同的典范,并指出在大湾区深度融合的当下,财富继承的需求日益旺盛,跨境继承作为涉外委与婚家委深度交叉的领域,常常面临着法律冲突、文书认证、程序断裂等实务难题,手册的发布把真实案例、风控要点和办案流程系统化,为婚家委跨境业务提供了价值参考。 At the outset, Ma Jingping delivered welcome remarks and warmly greeted the guests and colleagues in attendance. She emphasised that the seminar exemplified Jingsh Shenzhen’s specialised practice and cross-border collaboration, and noted that, amid deeper Greater Bay Area integration, demand for wealth succession continues to grow. Cross-border succession—at the intersection of the International Affairs Committee and the Marriage & Family Committee—often involves conflicts of laws, document authentication,and procedural disconnects. The handbook systematises real cases, risk points, and workflows, offering valuable reference for the Marriage and Family Committee’s cross-border work. 她表示,期待婚家委与涉外委有持续的联动,通过专业分享与交流,为客户跨越法律的鸿沟提供更优质的服务。 She looked forward to ongoing collaboration between the two committees to help clients bridge legal divides with higher-quality service. ▲ 陈秀芝律师以《香港与内地的继承婚姻制度》为主题,从两地法律制度差异出发,围绕无遗嘱继承的继承顺序与遗产分配规则、遗产继承办理流程及相关程序要求展开讲解,并进一步延伸至婚姻关系的管辖权认定、离婚程序、夫妻财产分配及财产披露制度等内容。 Chan Sau Chi spoke on “Succession and Matrimonial Regimes in Hong Kong and Mainland China,” contrasting the two systems on intestacy rules(orde of succession and distrition), and extending to matrimonial jurisdiction, divorce procedure, ancillary relief, and disclosure. 在案例分析中,以LKW v DD案为例,介绍中国香港法院在离婚财产分配中对平等分享原则的适用,并确立了离婚财产分配五步法:确定财产、评估双方的经济需要、决定适用平等分享原则、考虑有没有充分理由不作出平均分割、决定结果。她还就婚前、婚内财产协议在中国香港的效力认定、起草条件与复审安排提出了实务建议。 Using LKW v DD, she explained the Hong Kong courts’ equal sharing principle and the five-step approach to ancillary relief: identify the assets; assess the parties’ financial needs; decide whether equal sharing applies; consider whether there is good reason to depart from equality; and determine the outcome. She also offered practical guidance on the enforceability, drafting, and review of pre- and post-nuptial agreements in Hong Kong. ▲ 赵宝莲律师以《涉外继承》为题,从涉外继承法律关系的认定标准、中国法律关于涉外继承的规定、公证继承与诉讼继承两条实现路径切入,结合多年经办的真实案例,深入讲解了外籍被继承人境内遗产继承、内地被继承人涉中国香港遗产继承中的法律适用、两地程序衔接、跨境文书认证与外国法查明等实务要点。通过匿名化案例,分析了一名长期居住深圳的中国香港居民去世后,因遗嘱将境内房产留给现任配偶,引发前段婚姻子女提出继承异议的情形,围绕案件管辖、遗嘱效力及法律适用进行解析;又结合一宗涉及境外国籍、内地及中国香港多地资产的继承争议,说明继承案件中外国法律查明、婚姻财产关系认定及不同地区遗产处理的复杂性。 Zhao Baolian spoke on “Foreign-Related Succession,” covering characterisation of foreign-related succession relationships, PRC rules on foreign-related succession, and the twin pathways of notarial and litigious succession. Drawing on anonymised real cases, she addressed applicable law, Mainland–Hong Kong procedural interface, cross-border document authentication, and proof of foreign law in cases involving estates in Mainland China of foreign decedents and Hong Kong estates of Mainland decedents. One case concerned a Hong Kong resident long domiciled in Shenzhen whose Mainland property was left by will to a current spouse, prompting a challenge by children of a prior marriage—analysing jurisdiction, will validity, and choice of law. Another involved multi-jurisdictional assets and foreign nationality, illustrating the complexity of proving foreign law, characterising matrimonial property, and dealing with estates across regions. 此外,她还通过中国香港居民在当地订立遗嘱、其内地存款引发继承争议的案例,讲解中国香港遗嘱认证文件在内地继承纠纷中的证据作用,以及内地遗产处理仍需履行相应程序的实务要求。通过案例拆解,她进一步提示,办理跨境继承业务应结合遗产所在地、被继承人经常居所地、遗嘱情况及继承人身份等因素,综合判断法律适用与办理路径。 She also discussed a Hong Kong will and Mainland bank deposits, explaining the evidential role of Hong Kong probate documents in Mainland disputes and that Mainland estate administration still requires the applicable local procedures. She emphasised that practitioners should weigh situs of assets, habitual residence of the deceased, the will (if any), and the heirs’ status when choosing law and pathway. 在专题分享和互动问答环节,参会人员围绕跨境遗产继承中的法律适用、遗嘱效力、继承程序以及中国香港与内地法律制度衔接等问题积极交流。陈秀芝律师与赵宝莲律师结合各自分享内容进行回应,就相关实务问题展开进一步探讨。 In the discussion, participants raised questions on applicable law, will validity, succession procedure, and Mainland–Hong Kong interface. Chan and Zhao responded by reference to their presentations and further explored practical issues. 《涉外继承法律服务手册》的发布体现了京师深圳律所涉外专业委员会在涉外继承法律服务领域的专业积累与实践探索,也为相关业务交流和服务实践提供了参考。 The launch of the Handbook on Foreign-Related Succession Legal Services reflects the Committee’s accumulated expertise and practice exploration in this field, and provides a reference for peer exchange and client work.
