INFORMATION ABOUT EXECUTION OF INTERNATIONAL WILLS

Priority:  Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority:  International Legal Materials, vol XII, no.6, Nov. 
1973, p 1302

CFR Citation:  22 CFR 92.81(b)(3)

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: By resolution of the international diplomatic conference that 
adopted the final text of the 1973 convention on the forms of 
international wills, there was a recommendation that States establish 
an internal system to permit the optional registration of information 
to facilitate the discovery of international wills. The President 
transmitted the convention to the Senate on July 2, 1986, with the 
recommendation that the Senate give its advice and consent to U.S. 
ratification of the convention, and information about the intention to 
establish the Registry in the Department of State (Senate Treaty Doc. 
99-29). The Senate gave advice and consent on August 2, 1991. 
Implementing legislation (the International Wills Act) is required 
before the United States can take further action to ratify the 
convention.
