Practice question
An estate presents an intrinsic succession issue and a separate formal-execution issue. A party establishes an Aznar-type referral for the intrinsic issue and assumes it necessarily determines every formal requirement too. Which is best?
- Classify each issue and apply its own governing conflicts rule rather than extend the referral automatically.
- One succession referral necessarily answers every legal issue in the universe.
- Formal validity and intrinsic succession are always identical.
- The executor may choose any formal rule after death.
- Article 17 can never matter to a foreign instrument.
