520 _aAbraham-Béhor de Camondo died in Paris on December 13, 1889. Although his declaration of succession was filed with the tax administration six months after his death, it was not until more than seven years later that the act of partition was finally accepted by his two heirs: his son Isaac and his daughter Clarisse. The succession of Abraham gave rise to bitter negotiations between the two parties, who appealed to various legislations—Italian, French, and Ottoman—to get their claims to receive a favorable decision. This conflict, which pitted the heirs against each other for many years, finds its origins both in the transnational nature of the deceased’s fortune, and in the possibility given to the heirs of using competing legal systems or arguments inherent to community practices. It was in the case of real estate assets scattered across several countries that the partition was most complex. It was resolved by combining several national legal systems, although the application of the legal system relating to the nationality of the deceased was ultimately decisive.
