Abstract:

The newly created European Certificate of Succession is applicable in almost the entire EU. It is primarily used to verify an heir’s status and is designed to serve alongside the existing national inheritance certificates (such as the German Erbschein), making it easier for heirs to settle inheritance matters abroad. This EU Succession Regulation does not, however, affect the provisions of individual Member States in the areas of substantive inheritance law (e. g. the question of who is a legal heir) and inheritance tax law. This paper aims to analyze how the regulation of the European inheritance certificate interacts with the regulation of the national inheritance certificate. Thus it does not replace documents such as the Romanian inheritance certificate but is rather a supplementary inheritance document.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to clarify the essence of universal legal succession in the field of inheritance law. The relevance of the research topic is due to a number of factors. First of all, it is the need to ensure both the proper posthumous transfer of the rights and responsibilities from the ancestor to lawful heirs, and the stability of property relations. Besides, it should be noted that the process of recoding (updating) the civil legislation of Ukraine has begun. As a result of the conducted research, it has been concluded that hereditary legal succession and hereditary legal relationship are not identical concepts. Succession, as a one-time transition, is the dynamics, movement of the hereditary legal relationship or a manifestation of the latter. If the moment of the hereditary legal relationship’s origin is related to the time of the opening of the inheritance, then the succession, as the dynamics of the legal relationship, occurs with the acceptance of the inheritance by lawful heirs. The integrity of the construction of universal hereditary legal succession is ensured by a set of the following factors: 1) the succession passes to lawful heirs unchanged as a cohesive whole, with all the methods of provision and the burdens imposed on it; 2) immediacy, which is manifested in the fact that the lawful heir acquires the succession directly from the ancestor without prior transfer to third parties; 3) the uniqueness of the transfer of the succession to lawful heirs from the time of its opening, regardless of the time of acceptance and state registration; 4) the rights and obligations that belonged to the ancestor are transferred to lawful heirs in the same form in the composition, volume and value, which existed at the time of the opening of the succession; 5) conclusiveness and unconditionalness of the acts of the succession’s acceptance and refusal of its acceptance. The universality of inheritance legal succession is a principle of inheritance law, which determines its content, direction of legal regulation and fully covers all institutions of inheritance law. That is why the essence of the construction of universal legal succession as a basic category of inheritance law is not limited to the concept of succession, contained in the Art. 1216 of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

Abstract:

The authors investigate the features of reforming the succession law in Russia and the European Union. It was revealed that: (1) the topic of cross-border succession is becoming increasingly important in Europe, given that substantive laws in EU Member States vary significantly with respect to the form of will, the admissibility of succession agreements, the rules of calling for inheritance, etc.; (2) these problems should have been adopted by Regulation No. 650/2012 on succession adopted on July 4, 2012, which has been applied in all EU member states since August 17, 2015; (3) The Regulation introduced the European Certificate of Succession (ECS) - a document that must be recognized in all member states without any special procedure; (4) on the one hand, ECS has simplified the procedure for accepting and registering an inheritance; on the other hand, problems have been identified that arise as a result of applying the laws of individual states; (5) the reform of the Russian legislation on inheritance, which took place in 2017-2019, was aimed at ensuring the interests of heirs by introducing such institutions as: succession fund, succession agreement, joint testament of spouses; which made it possible to conclude that Russian legislation is increasingly intensively keeping up with the times and becoming more flexible in terms of inheritance.

Abstract:

A principal concern of inheritance law is defining the relatedness of individuals. In this context the posthumously born child has to be defined in or out of a kinship network for inheritance purposes. Historically the concerns were ones of paternity and, with it, legitimacy. For the posthumously born child these were vital questions, as the illegitimate child was nullius filius, the son of nobody, and disentitled from inheritance. While modern inheritance law has moved away from the disabilities that illegitimacy once entailed, the responses to questions of relatedness in the context of children born through the new reproductive technologies suggest a different approach - one of exclusion. The frozen embryo which is implanted and born after the father's death raises anew the question of the validity of discriminating between children because of the circumstances of their birth. There is a struggle between the practicalities of the administration of an estate and the philosophy of equality which underpins the modern non-discriminatory approach to children born outside of marriage. This paper explores some of the issues and assesses some of the solutions in contemporary debate.

Abstract:

In modern Russian succession law, factual grounds (incapacity for work, maintenance and community of life with the testator, etc.) have a decisive influence on the construction of the legal and necessary hereditary order. Thus, the Russian legislator protected incapable persons who were, after the death of the provider, supported by the testator during his lifetime. By enacting such inheritance regulations, the legislator has remained faithful to the Russian legal tradition and the idea of subsistence (which is the basis of legal inheritance in Russian law), and successfully ensured the continuity of family law protection for incapacitated individuals. This paper focuses on the inheritance mechanism aimed at ensuring the continuity of family law protection to persons who are incapable to work, and who were supported by the testator during his/her lifetime. In light of current inheritance legislation of the Russian Federation and the views presented in the Russian legal literature and jurisprudence, the author points out that the continuity of family law protection of incapacitated persons who were supported by the testator may be effectively ensured through the institute of universal succession.

Abstract:

The article analyses the historical process of dividing the original fideicommissum institution into separate types: family fideicommissum, singular fideicommissum and universal fideicommissum. Family fideicommissum appeared in the inheritance law of Ancient Rome due to the legislator’s desire to limit the freedom of disposition of property that a legatee and other members of his family used to have. The aim of such a limitation was to keep the estate within one Roman family. The author concludes that the legal nature of fideicommissum was based on the transfer of the estate’s assets only (and not liabilities) from an heir to a legatee. This led to the gradual unification of bequests and singular fideicommissa in Roman law. The author bases the analysis of peculiarities of universal fideicommissum on its comparison with legatum partitionis. As a result, it is found that there was a fundamental change in the legal nature of universal fideicommissum. A universal fideicommissum was originally based on the singular succession principle, but the Trebellian senate’s decree (senatusconsultum Trebellianum) permitted the transfer of liabilities, which were a part of estate property, from an heir to a legatee as well as assets, thus permitting universal succession. Due to this, the merger of universal fideicommissa with the bequest became impossible and universal fideicommissum retained its independence in the Roman inheritance law. In course of the research, the author uses translations of fragments from the most important monuments of Roman law — the Justinian Novels, which have not been published in Russian before.

Abstract:

In the article the analysis of the correlation of civil and tax legislation on the example of inheritance succession in tax legal relations. The problematic perspective of the interaction and influence of civil and tax law is one of the constant problems of the national legal system, which is modified under the influence of various factors. As this problem has been the subject of scientific research in the theory of law, relevant sectoral directions, the task of this scientific publication focuses on the issues of determining the ratio of civil and tax law in the interaction of hereditary and tax relations, burdened by succession in succession. The author probed the questions practice of courts in resolving disputes regarding the collection of tax debt in the event of the death of the defendant, procedural actions and court decisions. The author studies court decisions and relevant practice on closing the proceedings or refusing to open in the event of the death of the defendant, when the disputed tax relations do not allow succession. The article explores the application of civil legislation to relations that arose before entry into force. The features of the simplified production are examined in matters about an inheritance. In the article are formulated the signs of judicial cases about an inheritance and tax, related to subject composition, matter of action, inheritance time, other descriptions. The author affected the questions of forming of judicial practice, roles of Supreme Court in correct application of legislation courts about an inheritance. A circleof legally meaningful actions, which may be inherited from the side of subjectsof the inherited legal relationships, is outlined. Composition of inheritance, the right and obligations, whose carrier during the life was the testatorhimself, is analyzed. It is proved, that the composition of inheritance besidesrights and obligations can also includes possibilities and permissions, given bythe law. Key words: inheritance, heirs, tax legal relationship, law of succession.

Abstract:

Entrepreneurs may be legally bound to bequeath a minimal stake to noncontrolling heirs. The size of this stake can reduce investment in family firms, by reducing the future income they can pledge to external financiers. Using a purpose-built indicator of the permissiveness of inheritance law and data for 10,004 firms from 38 countries in 1990–2006, we find that stricter inheritance law is associated with lower investment in family firms but does not affect investment in nonfamily firms. Moreover, as the model predicts, inheritance law affects investment only in family firms that experience a succession. (JEL G31, G32, K22, L26, O17).

Abstract:

The inevitability of the death of all property owners means that the redistribution of property at death is a basic function of the law of succession. In the systems that recognise testamentary freedom (including South Africa), the right to distribute property after death is considered as a natural extension of the entitlements that an owner enjoys while alive. Testamentary freedom is an age-old common law principle that has formed part of our law since time immemorial. This right vests in individual owners, and courts (and functionaries of the state) are obliged to give effect to the clear intentions of testators as expressed in their wills. Ownership therefore forms the basis of the right to make testamentary disposals that become enforceable after death. In this way, a primary role of testate succession law is to extend the rights of owners after death. The question this thesis seeks to answer is whether the common law right to dispose of property after death is a constitutionally protected property right in light of constitutional commitments to redistribution, restitution and historical redress. This involves an interpretation of the nature, purpose and scope of section 25 of the Constitution in the context of the common law of testate succession. In this thesis, I critique the academic and judicial view that ownership is central to the constitutional protection of the common law principle of freedom of testation. I argue that the current interpretation of the property clause represents a one-dimensional view of property rights that ignores accepted constitutional property jurisprudence of the interpretive approach to the property clause, including its dual purpose in protecting as well as transforming property relations and the emphasis on our historical context of past discrimination. In essence, my thesis is a critical evaluation of the nature and scope of testamentary freedom for the purposes of justifying the redistribution of wealth and property at death. My ultimate goal is to show that the redistribution of property through inheritance law is politically and constitutionally justified.

Abstract:

Doctor Legum - LLD
South African Muslims constitute a religious minority group that is subject to dual legal systems. In the public sphere they are bound by South African law whereas in the private sphere are duty bound in terms of their religion to follow Islamic law. Muslims are required, in terms of their religion, to ensure that their estates devolve in terms of the Islamic law of succession. A son inherits double the share of a daughter in terms of the Islamic law of intestate succession. This unequal distribution of shares has led to a premise that the Islamic law of intestate succession discriminates against females. The South African Constitution strongly promotes the right to equality and non-discrimination. There is therefore a serious need to investigate the fairness of the Islamic law of intestate succession within the context of South African law. This is in the interest of a religious minority group who have been in South Africa since 1654.

Abstract:

In South Africa, it is evident that women are uniformed of their essential human rights, especially their inheritance and succession rights, including protection of such rights. Human rights are international norms that protect individuals everywhere from the states’ political, legal and social abuse. Human rights are entitlements which human beings have in order to enhance their human condition. They are the fundamental entitlements or minimum standards to be met for individual so that they live with dignity. This study focused on discrimination of women under customary law in South Africa with reference to inheritance and succession. The study validated the findings of other researchers on the impact of cultural practices on women’s rights to inheritance and succession. In addition the findings revealed that efforts t eliminate traditional practices, should foremost come from men and from communities that hold such destructive attitudes towards women. The outcomes and recommendations of this study would assist the government and other institutions to adopt effective measures to empower women and especially educate them so that they can assert and defend their human rights

Abstract:

Analysing the financial fate of the surviving spouse in French and Ontario law reveals him or her to be both a partner and an heir. The patrimonial union between the spouses is indeed a partnership which is terminated by the death of one spouse. Moreover, marriage introduces each spouse into his or her partner's family for the purposes of succession. The dual character of status of the surviving spouse is the basis of the argument, advanced in this thesis, that this duality represents an important commonality between the French and Ontario legal systems, notwithstanding the disparities between the two. One of these disparities is the surviving spouse's obligation, in Ontario, to choose between his or her matrimonial and inheritance rights, except when the deceased has expressly provided that he or she would not have to make this choice. Thus, while French law permits the surviving spouse to deduct the amount of his or her inheritance portion from the deceased's assets, even once the financial benefits of the marital partnership have been apportioned, Ontario law seems to be unable to distinguish between the partition of the marital partnership and the deceased's succession. After examining, in particular, the surviving spouse's rights pursuant to mandatory and suppletive rules of law, from the twin perspectives of spouse and heir, the thesis explores some examples of the tools used by spouses for estate planning. In particular, marriage contracts and life-insurance can dramatically affect, for better or worse, the fate of the surviving spouse.

The chapter describes the current law of succession in Norway with regard to mandatory protection of family members, explains its historical background, and situates it in the debates surrounding the changed realities of family life in the twenty-first century. Family law and family life have undergone many changes, not least the increasing prevalence of second or third families/remarriages and cohabitation, as well as the acceptance of same-sex families. The chapter argues that, despite recent reform proposals, the limited changes implemented by reforms in 2019 fall short of what is required of a modern law of succession for all families in Norway.

Abstract:

The chapter deals with forced heirship and necessary portion in the laws of China from a historical perspective and through analysing not only statutory law but court decisions as well. The Chinese doctrine of necessary portion comprises two, allegedly socialist, principles. First, it encourages people to support themselves by their own efforts as long as they are able to work. Secondly, it aims to protect a person’s right to inherit and ensures a level of support for those who are unable to work and have no source of income. The application of the necessary-portion doctrine in court practice features certain particularities that mirror the Communists’ predisposition towards flexibility in inheritance law, but it can also be understood as a holistic view of the application of law.

Abstract:

English law has not always applied the principle of freedom of testation. In an absolute form it dates only from 1891. Family provision legislation, based on the New Zealand model, was introduced into England and Wales in 1939 and gave the courts a discretion to award maintenance to the testator’s spouse and, in some cases, to his or her children. Subsequently, the legislation was extended and it now covers a number of different classes of claimant, as well as much greater entitlement for spouses. Although it was suggested in the 1970s that a system of fixed shares might be substituted for the discretionary family provision system, this did not happen, and the proposal seems unlikely to resurface. The present legislation is contained in the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975 as amended. The problem areas at the present time relate to the entitlement of adult children, to the identification of dependants, and to the identification and entitlement of cohabitants. The cost of litigation in England is always a matter of concern, but in this field, where there is sometimes considerable uncertainly as to who is likely to obtain what provision, the application of the discretionary system causes some unease.

Considerable reference is made to relevant work of the Law Commission, particularly Intestacy and Family Provision Claims on Death (Law Com. No. 331, 2011), which was preceded by Consultation Paper 191 (2009) and sought to modernize the law of intestacy in light of contemporary social conditions. The Commission’s suggestions were largely enacted in the Inheritance and Trustees’ Powers Act 2014.

Abstract:

The compulsory portion of the German law of succession is a personal claim by a close family member of the deceased against the deceased’s heir, or heirs, to receive the value of one-half of his or her intestate share. The range of persons entitled to a compulsory portion is limited to the deceased’s descendants, his parents, and his surviving spouse. The right to a compulsory portion can be lost as a result of having been deprived of it by the deceased (which is possible in a limited number of situations), as a result of being ‘unworthy’ to receive a benefit from the deceased’s estate, or as a result of having waived the right. All in all, the system enacted in the German Civil Code (BGB) in 1900 has proved to be comparatively stable; even the amendments of 2010 as a result of the Act on the Reform of the Law of Succession and Prescription were rather modest and have shifted the balance between freedom of testation and family solidarity only very slightly in the direction of freedom of testation. This is often seen as confirmation that, essentially, the rules of the BGB provide a solution that is both pragmatic and reasonable. The Federal Constitutional Court has even, in 2005, ruled that a certain minimum participation for children in a deceased’s estate not only does not contravene the constitutional guarantee of ‘property and the right of inheritance’ in Article 14(1) GG, but is itself protected by that provision.
