Questão jurídica principal
Whether the action concerning profit-sharing rights in inherited property is an inheritance dispute under Art. 86 IPRG, and thus subject to Swiss local jurisdiction at the deceased's last domicile.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The claim is sufficiently closely connected to the estate settlement and the inherited properties to qualify as an inheritance dispute.
Fundamentação extraída
The agreement on profit-sharing rights was part of the overall estate settlement, concerned all inherited properties, and served as a conditional value equalization among heirs. The court relied on its case law on forum hereditatis and on inheritance-related settlement agreements; a contractual form does not exclude inheritance character if the nexus to the succession is close enough.
