40In that regard, it is apparent from a combined reading of Articles 13 and 28 of Regulation No 650/2012 – as noted, in essence, by the Advocate General in point 58 of his Opinion – that there is a close correlation between those two provisions, with the result that the jurisdiction of the courts of the Member State of the habitual residence of the heir to receive declarations concerning the waiver of succession is subject to the condition that the law on succession in force in that State provides for the possibility of making such a declaration before a court. If that condition is satisfied, all the steps to be carried out before a court of the Member State of the habitual residence of the heir wishing to make such a declaration are determined by the law of that Member State.
