41The abovementioned provisions of Regulation No 650/2012, referred to in paragraph 39 of the present judgment, must be interpreted in the light of the objectives pursued by that regulation, which is intended, as is apparent from recitals 7 and 8 thereof, to help heirs and legatees, other persons close to the deceased and creditors of the estate to assert their rights in the context of a succession with cross-border implications and to enable Union citizens to prepare their succession (see, to that effect, judgment of 21 June 2018, Oberle, C‑20/17, EU:C:2018:485, paragraph 49).
