Um Zuständigkeitskonflikte zu vermeiden, können die schweizerischen Gerichte oder Behörden ihre Zuständigkeit ablehnen, soweit sich die Behörden eines ausländischen Heimatstaates des Erblassers oder des Staates seines letzten gewöhnlichen Aufenthalts mit dem Nachlass befassen.
Befindet sich Vermögen an mehreren Orten, so sind die zuerst angerufenen schweizerischen Gerichte oder Behörden zuständig.
