Succession Rules in Cyprus 
As a general rule, the succession of a person who (habitually) resides in Cyprus is governed, irrespective of where his assets are situated, by the succession laws of Cyprus. By way of exception, in the case of people who  (habitually) reside in Cyprus and have foreign or dual citizenship, their succession could be governed by the succession laws of the country of their citizenship should they choose this option..
