Swiss Civil Procedure Code
(Civil Procedure Code, CPC)

¹ The court at the last dom­i­cile of the de­ceased has jur­is­dic­tion over ac­tions un­der the law of suc­ces­sion as well as ac­tions for the di­vi­sion of the mar­it­al prop­erty on the death of a spouse or a re­gistered part­ner.

² The au­thor­it­ies at the last dom­i­cile of the de­ceased have man­dat­ory jur­is­dic­tion over meas­ures in con­nec­tion with suc­ces­sion. If death did not oc­cur at the dom­i­cile, the au­thor­it­ies at the place of death shall no­ti­fy the au­thor­it­ies at the place of dom­i­cile and take the ne­ces­sary meas­ures to en­sure the con­ser­va­tion of the as­sets situ­ated at the place of death.

³ In­de­pend­ent ac­tions for the al­loc­a­tion on death of an ag­ri­cul­tur­al en­ter­prise or ag­ri­cul­tur­al land may also be brought be­fore the court at the place where the prop­erty is loc­ated.
