Art. 87 Bundesgesetz vom 18. Dezember 1987 über das Internationale Privatrecht (IPRG)
IPRG; 6. Kapitel: Erbrecht; I. Zuständigkeit; 2. Heimatzuständigkeit
Art. 87 IPRG
War der Erblasser Schweizer Bürger mit letztem Wohnsitz im Ausland, so sind die schweizerischen Gerichte oder Behörden am Heimatort zuständig, soweit sich die Behörden des Wohnsitzstaates mit seinem Nachlass nicht befassen. Um Zuständigkeitskonflikte zu vermeiden, können die schweizerischen Gerichte oder Behörden ihre Zuständigkeit ablehnen, soweit sich die Behörden eines ausländischen Heimatstaates des Erblassers, des Staates seines letzten gewöhnlichen Aufenthalts oder, soweit es um einzelne Nachlasswerte geht, deren Lagestaates mit dem Nachlass befassen.
Die Gerichte oder Behörden am Heimatort sind stets zuständig, wenn ein Schweizer Bürger mit letztem Wohnsitz im Ausland in der Schweiz gelegene Vermögenswerte oder seinen gesamten Nachlass durch letztwillige Verfügung oder Erbvertrag der schweizerischen Zuständigkeit oder, ohne Vorbehalt bezüglich der Zuständigkeit, dem schweizerischen Recht unterstellt hat. Artikel 86 Absatz 2 ist vorbehalten.
