Key words: property; family; property regimes; cross-border couples.
Resumen: Los regímenes económico-matrimoniales constituyen un sector relevante de la regulación de la Unión Europea conectado fuertemente con los derechos fundamentales. El régimen económico-matrimonial presenta problemas específicos que necesitan equilibrar derechos individuales con intereses generales, especialmente en materia de propiedad inmobiliaria. La fragmentación de la disciplina en Derecho de Familia de la UE y la diversidad de las reglas nacionales en relación con los derechos reales, requiere una gran flexibilidad por parte del legislador de la UE y los profesionales de la UE. La regulación proporcionada por los Reglamentos UE 1103 y 1104/2016 pueden ser un ejemplo interesante de cómo gestionar los intereses de parejas transfronterizas: Los principios de universalidad y unidad deben ser utilizados de forma apropiada y, en ciertos casos, la mejor solución es “retracción” y “adaptación” del sistema legal nacional.
Palabras clave: propiedad; familia; régimen económico; parejas transfronterizas.
