Practice question
Two foreign decedents own Philippine assets. For A, the properly established national conflicts rule refers the issue to Philippine domicile and the Aznar setting applies. For B, no such referral or other exception exists. May an heir infer identical governing-law results solely from asset location?
- Yes; location alone erases every difference in applicable national rules.
- No; the distinct established referral and connecting facts must be evaluated separately.
- Yes; renvoi applies automatically to every foreign estate.
- No; because foreign nationals may never own assets here.
- Yes; executors may replace conflicts rules with personal preferences.
