In the Republic of Slovenia, the courts have the exclusive competence in succession matters and there are no other authorities or legal specialists within the meaning of Art. 3(2) of that Regulation who would be responsible for succession matters and would exercise the judicial function or operate on the basis of Powers of Attorney transferred upon them by a judicial body and/or under the supervision of a judicial body.
Slovenian notaries do not exercise a judicial function and they are also not in the role of authorised representatives of courts. But they do draw up authentic instruments which comply with definitions according to the Regulation and which belong to the field of succession.
