Schwarz, Ulrike. "'To farm or not to farm' : succession, inheritance and gender." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/27353.
Full textAbstract:
Using a whole family approach the theses examines ten families owning medium sized farms in the south east of Scotland. The attitudes to gender are reflected in expectations and job allocations which result in a restrictive environment, making it difficult for daughters or wives to show interest or to be involved in the farm and also for sons to turn away from agriculture. In the same vein, who does what task usually depends on availability, expertise and personal preference and is not gender-neutral. However, the research also revealed, that the presence of stock on the farm makes it more likely for female family members to be involved in farming activities. All agree that ‘equal input’ should be rewarded with an equal share in the farm. However, the parents’ judgement of what is considered ‘equal input’ is influenced by traditional views of gender and the economic realities of farm succession. It is still mainly the eldest able and willing son(s) who takes over and only if there are no boys interested will the girls be given a chance to take on the family farm. (Agriculture remains a physically demanding industry while equal sub-division of the family wealth would frequently result in a non-viable outcome for the farming successor.) Overall, the thesis suggests that gendered expectations have been present throughout the whole process of children growing up and inheriting family farms, but given the right situation, these are not unsurmountable any longer.

Full textAbstract:
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

Cogger, Jonathan. "Inheritance and redistribution: exploring the constitutional commitment towards redistribution in the private law of succession." Doctoral thesis, Faculty of Law, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/33602.
Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to examine the patterns of residence and inheritance of rural Rastafarians of Jamaica. A historical materialist perspective is used to investigate the development of the matrifocal rural peasantry and the Rastafari movement, focusing on major economic changes which laid the foundation for the present cultural patterns. Ethnographic fieldwork was carried out from January to June 1995, in which a participantobservation methodology was used to gather data concerning patterns of residence and inheritance of 22 Rastafarians. The findings demonstrated that rural Rastas have difficulty practicing their ideal patrilineal patterns due to economic and material conditions; poverty and limited access to land impose limitations on patterns of residence and inheritance. Following a period of isolation after converting to the movement, Rastas generally must return to their mother's family to gain access to land and gardens or continue to squat in the mountains on government or private land.Department of Anthropology

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines change in the family farming sector through the lens of succession. It explores empirically the succession expectations and intentions of farmers and their children in a changing contextual landscape. The research is underpinned by two theoretical concepts: the ‘farm adjustment strategy’ facilitated the development of structural reference points in respect of the family farm business and household; and application of tenets of van der Ploeg’s (1994) ‘styles’ work enabled analysis of structural change in the farm business to be viewed through a qualitative succession lens. A ‘pragmatist’ mixed-methods approach comprised a farmer survey and next generation in-depth interviews. The analytical approach accommodated issues of temporality and facilitated the linkage and study of multiple components of change. It was found that immense variability exists in terms of how succession is managed in practice. The structural characteristics and capacity of the farm business clearly impact upon succession choices and positions, but intrinsic drivers also have a very significant bearing on succession and its potential outcome. The research revealed three broad outcomes of next generation succession intention, each forming the basis of a succession style: a desire and intention to succeed to the family farm, reflected in more traditional succession modes; an intention to leave the family farm, thus opting out of farming per se; and part-time succession, characterised by off-farm professional work, flexibility and a lifestyle preference that encompasses aspects of farming and non-farming worlds. The findings presented in this thesis suggest that, through succession, forms of farm management and operation are evolving. Family farming entities are adapting and becoming increasingly heterogeneous. Through a contemporary succession lens, the notion of the family farm now comprises an assortment of family-owned and family-managed businesses with an array of diversified business, amenity and farming interests.

Full textAbstract:
Doctor Legum - LLDSouth 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.

Full textAbstract:
Zimbabwean widows need to inherit property when their husbands die. Property, be it material or financial in nature, is a source of sustenance and wealth. Depriving women of property inheritance rights has untold consequences. This study focuses on the property inheritance rights of widows in Zimbabwe in the Sikalenge Ward of Binga District. The aim of the study is to understand how property grabbing affects widows and to find possible solutions and intervention strategies social workers may use. The literature reviewed in the study was drawn from both the legal field and social work to create a link between the fields. The study was shaped by radical feminism for conceptualising property grabbing while the formulated intervention strategies utilised the empowerment model. The study is qualitative in nature using interviews to collect data from ten widows and five social service providers who constitute the total of fifteen participants in the study. Data was analysed qualitatively using interpretive approaches and presentation is textual rather than statistical. The main finding of the study is that widows are still being denied their inheritance rights despite the provision of such rights by the Intestate Succession Laws promulgated in November 1997 by the government of Zimbabwe. Moreover, the widows are not aware of the inheritance laws of Zimbabwe and hence did not seek any professional intervention. The few who attempted the legal process for recourse were not successful. Even though it was minimally attempted, the study established that the main form of failed intervention tried by the women was legal in nature and suggests and emphasises an eminent need for Social Work intervention to supplement legal intervention.

Full textAbstract:
Malgré le tabou de l'argent, la transmission des biens d'une personne répond à une indéniable nécessité familiale, économique et sociologique. La liberté testamentaire grandissante, à peine restreinte par la nécessité de protéger le noyau dur familial, rend surprenante une démarche pourtant bien présente en pratique : l’exhérédation. Celle-ci est la privation, directe ou indirecte et quelle qu’en soit la forme, de l’émolument successoral par la seule volonté du de cujus, sans pouvoir porter atteinte au titre d’héritier. La dichotomie entre titre et émolument permet de révéler la véritable relation successorale entre disposant et successible. A l’absolutisme quasi-absolu de la volonté du de cujus correspond l’effet quasi-plénipotentiaire du titre d’héritier. Si le de cujus peut presque librement disposer des biens composant ou qui auraient dû composer sa succession, l’héritier, bien que ne disposant d’aucun droit à l’héritage, a la faculté d’en perturber le règlement, sous couvert d’en assurer la police et la gestion. Le titre d’héritier, dénué de tout ou partie de l’émolument et distingué de la propriété des biens transmis, doit cependant tout au plus être vu comme un intérêt à agir, non comme un quelconque élément directeur des opérations de liquidation successoraleDespite the taboo of money, the descent of a person’s estate falls in line with an undeniable necessity in family, economic and sociological terms. The growing freedom relating to wills, which is hardly contained by the requirement to protect the family unit, makes disinheritance surprising, though such an approach does exist in practice. Disinheritance means direct or indirect deprivation – in whatever form - from a portion of inheritance, as decided by the testator only, without affecting the title as heir. The dichotomy between title and portion of inheritance reveals the actual inheritance-related link between the settler and the person entitled to inherit. The all but plenipotentiary effect of the title as heir is to be compared with the fundamentally absolutist desire of the testator. Though the testator can freely dispose of the property of which his/her estate is or should have been made up to all intents and purposes, the heir, though he/she may have no right to the heritage, can disturb the settlement of such estate, under the pretext of enforcing law and order and of administering such estate. The title as heir, deprived of any entitlement to all or any part of the portion of inheritance, which is to be differentiated from ownership of property conveyed, should however be perceived as an advantage to act, at the very most, not as a key aspect of operations relating to the settlement of a succession

Thesis (LLD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2000.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Freedom of testation is one of the underlying principles of the South African law of testate succession. South African testators may therefore dispose of their assets by way of will in any manner they deem fit. This freedom is however not absolute and is indeed restricted in accordance with certain social and economic considerations - some of the restrictions on free testamentary disposition originated at common law while others are couched in the form of statute. The boni mores or legal convictions of the community is one of the socially founded mechanisms which operate to limit freedom of testation in South African law. The South African legislature as well as the South African courts have however been somewhat remiss in attending to (and rejuvinating) the legal position regarding the restriction of freedom of testation in terms of the boni mores. The need for legal development in this area is all the more acute in view of South Africa's new constitutional dispensation - the interpretation and application of South Africa's final Constitution has rendered the influence of constitutional rights and principles on private law (and therefore also on freedom of testation) a pertinent legal issue. In view of the above-mentioned considerations, this work entails a general study of freedom of testation with specific reference to the application of a constitutionally founded boni morescriterion on the restriction of free testamentary disposition. This study proceeds with due cognisance of relevant juridical, social and economic considerations which provide a basis for both freedom of testation and its limitation. In this regard a historical perspective is obtained at the outset through an analysis of the approach to freedom of testation in Roman and Roman-Dutch law. The position with regard to South African law is thereafter investigated. The "traditional" approach to freedom of testation (and its restriction) is examined first, whereafter the possible impact of relevant provisions of the South African Bill of Rights on free testamentary disposition is considered from a theoretical perspective. A comparative study then follows. In this regard the approach to freedom of testation in both common law and continental or civil law legal systems is investigated. English and Australian law are considered as examples of the former while Dutch, Belgian and German law are considered as examples of the latter. The investigation into all the legal systems mentioned above has a dual focus. On the one hand the support which is rendered to freedom of testation in each legal system is considered. This support is readily founded on the acknowledgement in each system of private ownership and hence private succession, the latter which in turn acknowledges testamentary freedom. Other elements of the law of testate succession which render support to freedom of testation in each system are also examined. The restriction of free testamentary disposition in each legal system is investigated on the other hand. This investigation is principally focused on the impact of the boni mores, legal convictions of the community, public interest, public policy (the last-mentioned consideration is of particular importance in common law legal systems) and the good morals (particularly relevant in civil law legal systems) on the restriction of freedom of testation. Proposals for a future approach to the restriction of freedom of testation in South African law in accordance with a constitutionally founded boni mores-criterion are advanced in the closing chapter. The principal proposal in this regard is couched in the form of a new statutory provision which would best address the legal problem under discussion. This proposal is then illustrated with reference to practical examples.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Testeervryheid vorm een van die grondslae van die Suid-Afrikaanse testate erfreg. Suid- Afrikaanse testateurs kan dientengevolge na goeddunke by wyse van testament oor hul bates beskik. Hierdie vryheid is egter nie absoluut nie en word ooreenkomstig bepaalde sosiale en ekonomiese oorwegings beperk - sommige beperkings is gemeenregtelik van aard terwyl andere in wetgewing beslag kry. Die boni mores of regsgevoel van die gemeenskap is een van die sosiaal-gefundeerde meganismes aan die hand waarvan testeervryheid in die Suid- Afrikaanse reg beperk word. Sowel die Suid-Afrikaanse wetgewer as die Suid-Afrikaanse howe het egter in onlangse tye in gebreke gebly om die regsposisie ten opsigte van die beperking van testeervryheid ingevolge die boni mores te vernuwe. Regsontwikkeling op hierdie gebied is des te meer noodsaaklik in die lig van Suid-Afrika se nuwe grondwetlike bedeling - die invloed van grondwetlike regte en beginsels op die privaatreg (en derhalwe ook op testeervryheid) word geredelik deur die interpretasie en toepassing van Suid-Afrika se finale Grondwet aan die orde gestel. In die lig van bogenoemde oorwegings word 'n studie van testeervryheid in die algemeen en die aanwending van 'n grondwetlik-gefundeerde boni mores-maatstaf ter beperking van testeervryheid in die besonder in hierdie werk onderneem. Die studie geskied deurgaans aan die hand van tersaaklike juridiese, sosiale en ekonomiese oorwegings wat sowel testeervryheid as die beperking van dié vryheid fundeer. In hierdie verband word 'n historiese perspektief ter aanvang verkry deurdat die benadering tot testeervryheid in die Romeinse en Romeins- Hollandse reg ontleed word. Die posisie in die Suid-Afrikaanse reg word daarna op tweeledige wyse ondersoek. Die "tradisionele" benadering tot testeervryheid (en die beperking daarvan) word enersyds onder die loep geneem waarna 'n teoretiese perspektief op die moontlike invloed van tersaaklike bepalings van die Suid-Afrikaanse Handves van Regte op testeervryheid andersyds verkry word. 'n Regsvergelykende studie word daarna onderneem. In hierdie verband word die benadering tot testeervryheid in sowel "common law"- as kontinentale of "civil law "-regstelsels beskou. Die Engelse en Australiese reg word as voorbeelde van eersgenoemde ontleed terwyl die Nederlandse, Belgiese en Duitse reg as voorbeelde van laasgenoemde beskou word. Die fokus van die ondersoek na al die regstelsels hierbo vermeld, val enersyds op die onderskraging wat in elke regstelsel aan testeervryheid verleen word. Sodanige onderskraging spruit geredelik uit die erkenning in die onderskeie regstelsels van private eiendomsreg en derhalwe private erfopvolging, laasgenoemde wat weer op die erkenning van testeervryheid dui. Ook ander elemente van die testate erfreg wat in elke van die genoemde regstelsels ter onderskraging van testeervryheid funksioneer, word beskou. Die beperking van testeervryheid in elk van die regstelsels word andersyds ondersoek. Die fokus val in hierdie verband veralop die invloed van die boni mores, regsgevoel van die gemeenskap, openbare belang, openbare beleid (laasgenoemde veral relevant in "common law"-regstelsels) en die goeie sedes (veral relevant in kontinentale regstelsels) op die beperking van testeervryheid. In die slothoofstuk word voorstelle omtrent 'n toekomstige benadering tot die beperking van testeervryheid in die Suid-Afrikaanse reg aan die hand van 'n grondwetlik-gefundeerde boni mores-maatstaf gemaak. Die vernaamste voorstel in hierdie verband vind beslag in 'n nuwe statutêre bepaling wat die onderhawige regsprobleem ten beste sal aanspreek. Hierdie voorstel word ten slotte aan die hand van praktiese voorbeelde toegelig.

Full textAbstract:
In India, the Hindu Succession Rights Act of 1956 allows the widow, the daughters, alongside the sons of the deceased senior male, to claim an equal share in familial property. By giving inheritance rights to daughters and widows, and not exclusively to sons, this Act proposes a radically different organization of the ideal patrilineal household, commonly referred to as "the Hindu joint family". The Act initiates a transformation of Hindu women's status through their rights to property, which implies the transformation of women's rights and duties in India.Drawing on the analysis made during an extensive fieldwork period in a rural community and case studies in Pune tribunals, this thesis shows that women generally know that they have some rights to their father's and husband's property. However, for various reasons, they do not see any advantage in claiming their inheritance rights. Women often find it difficult to reconcile claiming rights with their duties as daughters (or daughters-in-law) and the social restrictions associated with widowhood. In addition, the complex relationships with the state bureaucracy often prevent them from their right to access property. In that context, before choosing a forum of justice, most women (and men) will first opt for conflict avoidance.
This socio-legal ethnography of women's succession rights, in the state of Maharashtra, is an anthropological contribution to the study of the dynamics of social cohesion in an environment where legal pluralism is itself in transition.

D’autre part, elle est sommée de songer au coût de la prise en charge d’une éventuelle dépendance liée au grand âge. Ces injonctions contradictoires conduisent à adopter une approche différente de l'anticipation successorale. Bien entendu, l'acte d'anticipation sera toujours considéré comme efficace lorsqu’il permettra au de cujus d’imposer durablement sa volonté, au-delà même de la mort. Mais, désormais, l’acte doit en outre faire montre d’une certaine capacité d’adaptation. Face aux différents événements jalonnant une longue existence, les besoins de chacun évoluent, si bien que les arbitrages réalisés plusieurs décennies auparavant se révéleront parfois peu judicieux. C'est pourquoi la stabilité et l'adaptabilité sont désormais devenues les deux caractéristiques primordiales, bien qu’apparemment inconciliables, d’une stratégie de transmission pérenne. Pour triompher de l’épreuve du temps, le projet doit ainsi allier tout à la fois les qualités du chêne et du roseau, c’est-à-dire aussi bien la robustesse de l’arbre séculaire que la souplesse de la jeune planteIt’s a fact : the French population is aging. This demographic trend has an impact on inheritance law and estate planning. On one hand, seniors are encouraged to hand down property to younger generations early on. On the other hand, they are asked to put aside money for their own care. Estate planning must adapt to this new context. As of now, stability and adaptability are the two primordial characteristics of good estate planning, although they’re apparently irreconcilable. First, you must be sure that wishes will be respected and not betrayed by the heirs after your death. Then, Estate planning will be more efficient if it can adapt. Life changes, needs change, so the elderly must be free to change their mind when a project made years ago becomes irrelevant. To be more efficient, estate planning must combine the qualities of the oak and the reed : the robustness of the old tree and the flexibility of the young plant

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, succession has become a major theme in family business research. Much of the research effort has concentrated on the managerial dimension of succession, often subordinating the importance of other major variables such as family relationship dynamics and the form of business ownership on the succession outcome. Family enterprises are generally conceptualised as a dynamic, evolving systems in which the actions and interactions taking place amongst constituent groups determine the system's outputs. This study aimed to overcome the limitations of examining only one dimension of a system's activities by carrying out a longitudinal holistic analysis of the evolution of the family enterprise system as it went through the process of generational transition. The research for this thesis employed the multiple case study method to investigate the influence of emotional and developmental factors on the ability of business-owning families to make progress with the tasks required to complete a generational transition. Three specific issues were examined: the nature of the task environment facing the family enterprise system over the duration of the transition period; the approaches used by families to address the tasks required for them to move through the stages making up the transition process; and the extent to which emotional and developmental factors prevented or promoted progress being made with the generational transition. The results reveal that families face the same sequence of stages in the generational transition process. However, they differ in their ability to move through these stages, towards closure of the transition period and the achievement of a succession outcome, Importantly, the degree to which individuals and families are able to make progress is related to their ability to manage the anxiety generated during the transition process. Anxiety is created when the structures or network of interrelationships that hold their family enterprise system intact are evaluated and may be dismantled and reconstructed differently for the next stage in the system's development. The study supports the view that anxiety is generated during transition times when developmental pressures for change build up from changes taking place in the life-cycles underway within the family enterprise system. It also supports the view that developmental pressure (such as a crisis) from the business subsystem alone does not lead to transition task activity and progress. Progress in response to business sub-system pressure comes about when the opportunity exists to solve an ongoing adult development problem by implementing a solution to a transition task problem. The ability to manage anxiety was found to be related to both the quality of emotional functioning in the family and the extent to which the adult development agendas of both generations are in alignment. Favourable alignment brought a developmental opportunity for the individuals concerned. It allowed them to do the exploratory work required in order to assess the extent to which the family business could provide part of their life structure for the next phase of their development. However, in addition to adult development generational alignment, the study confirmed that the quality of emotional functioning in the family (their ability to overcome multigenerational patterns of functioning and behaviour) influenced the family's ability to make progress with ownership transfer and other tasks. The study concludes that emotional and developmental influences are mediating factors between the forces for change originating in the family enterprise system and its environment and the ability of those in the system to respond to the need for change and manage the transition process. It also found that families significantly underestimate the nature and complexity of the work involved in the transition process, as well as the timescale and emotional commitment required to complete the transition.

O novo padrão de modernização da agricultura e a mercantilização que vigora na maior parte das regiões rurais do Brasil também se faz presente no Sudoeste do Paraná. Assim, estudar a estratégia de reprodução social da agricultura familiar e sua sucessão geracional pode refletir os mesmos fatores que a condicionam nessa nova ruralidade. Neste sentido, procura-se verificar quais são os fatores que interferem na sucessão geracional da agricultura familiar e perceber o quanto a modernização da agricultura a tornou mais complexa; para tanto, partiu-se de um estudo comparativo entre duas comunidades, que demandou entrevistas com 50 famílias rurais seguidas de sessões de grupo focal. Desse estudo, percebeu-se que os fatores que favorecem a permanência dos jovens no meio rural são, principalmente, a renda, os valores de comunidade e a inclusão dos projetos de vida dos filhos nas estratégias de reprodução social da família.The new pattern of modernization of agriculture and the commodification in force in most rural areas of Brazil is also present in the Southwest of Paraná. So, study the strategy of social reproduction of family farming and its generational succession may reflect the same factors that condition this new rurality. In this sense, looking ascertain what are the factors affecting the generational succession of the family farm and see how the modernization of agriculture to become more complex; to this end, we started with a comparative study between two communities, which required interviews with 50 rural families followed by focus group sessions. From this study, it was noted that the factors that favor the permanence of young people in rural areas are mainly income, community values and the inclusion of life projects of the children in the family social reproduction strategies.

Full textAbstract:
La France est un pays laïc. Son système successoral aussi est d'identité laïque. La loi successorale s'applique à tous les français sans distinction de sexe et de religion. En revanche, le Liban est un pays multiconfessionnel. En matière des statuts personnels dont la succession fait partie, il est soumis aux règles religieuses et civiles. Pour les musulmans libanais, ces règles sont issues du Coran. En revanche, les chrétiens et les juifs libanais appliquent une loi laïque inspirée de l'ancien Code civil français. Face à cette situation, le principe de l'égalité de tous devant la loi- garantie par la constitution libanaise- est loin d'être respecté. Depuis longtemps, le droit français est une source d'inspiration du droit libanais. Tel est le cas du Code des contrats et des obligations libanais qui fut le fruit du travail du doyen JOSSERAND, ce Code étant toujours en vigueur au Liban. Dès lors, comment le législateur libanais peut-il moderniser et réformer les lois religieuses pour qu'elles soient en harmonie avec les autres lois du pays ? L'élaboration d'une loi successorale unique à la lumière du droit français serait-elle possible et souhaitable?France is a lay country. Thus its laws governing system of estates upon death are ruled by the principle of identity. Such laws apply to all French nationals irrespective of sex and religion. On the contrary, Lebanon is a multi-religious country. As regards matters relating to transmission of property upon death, the lebanese are governed by their religious and civil laws. For a Lebanese Moslem such rules are comprised in the Koran. Christian and Jewish Lebanese are subject to a lay legal system which sprang from French civil code. As a result, the principle of equality- of all before the law- warranted by the Lebanese constitution-is far from respected. For a long while now, French law has been a source of inspiration for Lebanese law. For exemple, the Lebanese contracts and debts code which resulted from the work of Dean JOSSERAND, the said code being still law in Lebanon. This being so, how can the Lebanese law maker modernise and reform the religious laws to bring them in line with the other laws of the country ? Would the elaboration of a unified Lebanese law of transmission of property upon death in the light of French law be feasible ?

The study looks at the main features of African indigenous law of succession and inheritance in Zimbabwe. It draws a distinction between the forms of inheritance practised between the two major ethnic groups, the Shona and the Ndebele. Whilst the research was mainly aimed at these two groups an investigation into inheritance practice by the South African Zulu and Xhosa counterparts was also made. An investigation into the impact of western influence on succession and inheritance was made taking a look at colonial legislation and case law, the general deduction being that it was a vehicle for attaching customary law to a western type law. After independence there was the issue of the impact of constitutionalism and international human rights law on succession in post colonial Zimbabwe. These were tools for change by bringing in notions of equality between men and women, issues that were highlighted in the cornerstone case of Magaya v Magaya, which was in turn discussed in the light of the Mthemu v Letsela and Bhe trilogy of cases in South Africa. In the final chapter there is a discussion of possibilities of reform and the future of customary law in Zimbabwe the highlight here being conducting proper legal research to ascertain the true purpose of custom.

Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/27746.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of testamentary freedom has traditionally been associated with the law of succession in jurisdictions with legal regimes based on the common-law system. This concept
became subject to abuse and dependents of deceased testators
were sometimes left to the mercy of the community for their support.
New Zealand was the first jurisdiction to counteract this abuse by introducing in its law, dependents' relief legislation which, essentially, acted as a flexible restraint on testamentary freedom. This concept retained the traditional
testamentary freedom, yet, the courts were given the authority to remedy any abuses of such freedom.
The Canadian common-law provinces through a period of sixty-four years have adopted legislation similar to that enacted in New Zealand.
In Canada, the concept has worked, on the whole, well. Many Canadian jurisdications have, through the years, adjusted their original legislation to meet what appears to be contemporary norms. The province of Ontario has undertaken extensive reform, and to a certain extent, has attempted to reconcile the provisions of succession law with that of matrimonial property rights. The province of Ontario appears to have achieved some degree of harmony between the two legal concepts.
The province of British Columbia on the other hand, although the issue has been the subject of a study and a Report of the Law Reform Commission of British Columbia, has retained the legislation as originally enacted in 1920. The jurisprudence has, however, interpreted the statute with such inconsistency that the statute has gone beyond its remedial purpose and has been interpreted as a form of forced heirship. This interpretation cannot be supported by the wording of the statute, nor by its historical intent.
This thesis surveys the various enactments commencing with the one in New Zealand, the progenitor statute, and continuing
with those of the Canadian provinces and finally, the U.K. statute. There is also a general comparison of contemporary
legislations. The jurisprudence in British Columbia is analysed from the enactment of the legislation and the shifts that the courts have undertaken over the past sixty-eight years are considered. In addition to the philosophical defect of the B.C. legislation, certain technical deficiencies are also considered. The present law of Ontario, which has been the subject
of extensive reform, is analysed and compared with that Province's previous legislation as well as that of the province of British Columbia.
The effect of the present state of law interpreting the British Columbia legislation is such that it can be said that as it stands, it has outlived its social utility and requires review to meet contemporary social norms. The general recommendation is that dependency be a condition precedent
to an application for relief, and that the spouse be entitled as of right, in any event, to half of the family assets.
The investigation for this thesis consisted, primarily,
of analysis of the legislative debates, appropriate statutes and the applicable jurisprudence interpreting such statutes.Law, Peter A. Allard School of

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the European certificate of succession, and how it affects Swedish inheritance law. The European certificate of succession is a European document that will be introduced in august 2015 in the EU regulation of succession. The certificate of succession is meant to simplify the current process of cross-border inheritance by legitimizing the concerned parties, which according to the regulation are: heirs, legatees, executors of wills and administrators of the estate. According to the regulation, the member state of which the deceased had habitual residence shall have jurisdiction to rule on the succession as a whole. Since the certificate is a European document, it will have legal effect in all member states. Because of this, a decision from one authority/court in a member state will also be applicable in the other member states. This means that national law in a certain capacity becomes cross-border law, which requires strong regulation. The certificate itself cannot be counted as an estate inventory, choice of law, will, or similar. It can however be a basis for a decision concerning inheritance. The certificate can be considered as an acknowledgement of a decision from one member state, which will also be applicable in the other member states. In Sweden, the certificate will be issued by “Skatteverket” (the Swedish tax agency). The European certificate of succession will considerably simplify the cross-border inheritance process for EU-citizens.Uppsatsens syfte är undersöka arvsintyget som rättshandling och diskutera dess följder på svensk arvsrätt. Det europeiska arvsintyget är en europeisk rättshandling som kommer införas i augusti 2015 i samband med EU:s nya arvsförordning. Arvsintyget är menat att förenkla processen vid gränsöverskridande arvsfrågor genom att legitimera de berörda parterna. Vilka enligt förordningen är: arvtagare, testamentstagare, boutredningsmän och testamentsexekutorer. I och med den nya arvsförordningen kommer hemvistprincipen få en större roll inom den europeiska arvsrätten och arvsintyget kan då användas för att förmedla ett domslut/bestämmande från en medlemsstat till en annan. Även universalitetsprincipen är av stor vikt vid behörighetsfrågor om gränsöverskridande arv, då den innebär att all kvarlåtenskap ska ingå i samma boutredning. Eftersom arvsintyget är en europeisk rättshandling kommer den ha rättsverkan i alla EU-länder som är bundna av arvsförordningen. Därför kommer ett beslut från myndighet/domstol i en medlemsstat även gälla i andra medlemsstater, vilket meddelas genom arvsintyget. Detta leder till att nationell lag i viss kapacitet blir gränsöverskridande, vilket kräver strikt reglering. Arvsintyget kan inte i sig självt räknas som en fördelning av kvarlåtenskap, lagvalsavtal eller liknande. Det kan dock ligga till grund för beslutande angående arvsskifte. Arvsintyget kan anses vara en kvittens av ett beslut från en medlemsstat, vilket ska gälla även i andra medlemsstater. Arvsintyget kommer i Sverige utfärdas av Skatteverket och kommer betydligt underlätta för EU-medborgare vid gränsöverskridande arvsfrågor.

Previous issue date: 2010-02-23From the analysis of the social, legal and economic rights of inheritance, it is very important to study the realization of the right to succession - promoted to a fundamental right - that can be achieved through some tutelage in our existing law, among which stand the action of application of inheritance. Given this scenario, the focus of this study is to define the contours of the action of the application of inheritance - conceived for the heir passed over in succession plead all the property inherited, based on the law and not merely the procedural aspects. Thus, in an attempt to offer a general theory of action under discussion, we leave its basic aspects, developing a broader overview of the succession causa mortis, and toured the right compared to the end, we face the issue widely discussed in doctrine and in court about the statue of limitations of that action
A partir da análise dos efeitos sociais, jurídicos e econômicos do direito sucessório, revela-se de suma importância o estudo da efetivação do direito à sucessão alçado à categoria de direito fundamental que pode ser alcançada por meio de algumas tutelas existentes em nosso direito, dentre as quais se destaca a ação de petição de herança. Tendo em vista esse cenário, o foco deste trabalho é delimitar os contornos da ação de petição de herança idealizada para que o herdeiro preterido na sucessão pleiteie a universalidade dos bens hereditários, tendo como base o direito material e não apenas os aspectos processuais. Assim, na tentativa de oferecer uma teoria geral da ação em comento, partimos dos seus aspectos basilares, traçando um panorama geral sobre a sucessão causa mortis, e excursionamos pelo direito comparado para, ao final, enfrentarmos a questão amplamente discutida na doutrina e nos tribunais no tocante aos prazos prescricionais da referida ação

Esta tese investiga o estudo da (re) criação do campesinato em área de latifúndio a partir da fragmentação da terra por herança e doação em Rondonópolis/MT. Ela aborda as ações resultantes desse processo, e particularmente o significado desta conquista pelos sujeitos sociais. Rondonópolis é um município onde impera grandes latifúndios e uma enorme concentração fundiária, aliás, uma marca no território brasileiro. Nele está também presente, a expansão dos movimentos sociais no campo representados pelos assentamentos criados pelo Estado. A importância desta pesquisa deriva do processo de surgimento de áreas de fragmentação dos latifúndios que foram adquiridos por migrantes no auge da venda de terras pelo governo de Mato Grosso em meados do Século XX. As áreas pesquisadas têm como peculiaridade mais de quarenta e sete anos de história, pois estão nas mãos das mesmas famílias, passando de geração para geração. Este processo gerou paulatinamente, a transformação do latifúndio em pequenas propriedades. Nestes espaços os membros das famílias têm a preocupação em não deixar o patrimônio sair do domínio familiar. O estudo foi realizado nas localidades de Bananal, Beroaba, Belém, Aldeinha, Pequi, Núcleo Colonial de Naboreiro e Vila Bueno, no município de Rondonópolis-MT, e abrangeu cinco propriedades que se formaram pela junção de dez unidades através da compra e ou doação e que hoje estão divididas em sessenta e seis pequenas propriedades. Os resultados deste trabalho revelaram que a fragmentação tem seus benefícios, mas por outro lado, tem também suas conseqüências negativas, embora diferenciadas, do risco de formação de minifúndios.This thesis research the (re)creation of peasant farming agriculture, in latifundium areas, through land fragmentation, by heritage and donation in Rondonópolis-MT. It analyze the actions resulting from this process, and emphasize the meaning of this conquer by the social actors. The importance of this work is based on the fact that Rondonópolis is a municipality with a great land area concentration, similar to great part of Brazilian territory. It also includes the expansion of social field movements, represented by many settlements created by the State. The importance of this research is related to the process of latifundium fragmentation, acquired by migrants in the peak of land selling by the government of Mato Grosso State in the middle of XX century. The researched areas have got a singular history aspect. More than 47 years has been kept in the same family ownership, from one to the next generation. This way, gradually have been changing from latifundium to small farming areas, therefore the family members are concerned about not to permit the properpty going out of family control. The study was carried out in the Rondonópolis municipality and in the Bananal, Beroaba, Belém, Aldeinha, Pequi, Nucleo Colonial de Naboreiro e Vila Bueno regions. It comprehends five properties that has been originated adding up (10) ten different areas through purchase and/or donation, otherwise now a days are divided in (66) sixty six small farming areas. The main results of this work have shown that the land fragmentation process has got their profits, but on the other hand can bring negative effects, although different. By the risk of minifundium formation.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho trata das relações de gênero em posições de poder - o lugar das herdeiras na sucessão de empresas familiares. Foi motivado pela constatação de três fatores: o elevado percentual de empresas familiares no universo total de empresas no mundo - mais de 80%, o reduzido número de "herdeiras" no comando destas empresas e a pequena sobrevivência destas empresas, a partir da 2ª geração. A empresa selecionada para a realização da pesquisa de campo foi a Leão Jr. S/A, pelo fato desta empresa reunir os requisitos necessários para a investigação do tema delineado: ter vivenciado mais de um processo de sucessão e ser uma empresa familiar de grande porte. Tratando de duas das mais importantes dimensões da vida, família e trabalho, esta pesquisa tem por desafio compreender a forma como, no contexto socioeconômico da elite de Curitiba, esta família se constitui e se organiza enquanto empresa e como os membros da família administram a imbricação das relações familiares e empresariais, objetivando identificar as relações de gênero que permeiam o processo sucessório nesta empresa. Espera-se, com este trabalho, abordar um aspecto nem sempre visível no mundo do trabalho, que representa a rede de relações sociais entre os membros de uma família empresária, suas representações, o simbolismo que permeia a vida da família, e, por conseguinte, também a vida da empresa familiar. Aquilo que se constitui no sentido de suas existências e lhes confere um determinado papel na sociedade e determina, tanto seu estilo de vida quanta o estilo de gestão da empresa. A presente pesquisa adotou um enfoque interdisciplinar que, partindo de um universo econômico, buscou resgatar um universo simbólico, utilizando-se dos recursos da antropologia, para detectar aspectos das humanidades na esfera empresarial, a fim de lançar luzes sobre o processo sucessório nas empresas familiares. Como objetivo geral da pesquisa pretendeu-se identificar o lugar que é reservado as mulheres herdeiras na sucessão da empresa familiar. Para alcançar esse objetivo procurou-se: conhecer as regras que norteiam o processo sucessório na empresa familiar em estudo; identificar os fatores que determinam a ascensão das herdeiras, bem como os fatores que as afastam dos postos de comando e identificar, junto às herdeiras, o significado de pertencer a uma família, cuja identidade é construída pela empresa. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa de campo optou-se pela abordagem qualitativa de natureza interpretativa, adentrando no universo das representações, dos símbolos, significados, subjetividade e intencionalidade. Foram entrevistadas 5 herdeiras, 4 delas participantes do conselho de sócios da empresa. A partir dai construiu-se a história da empresa sob dois enfoques - na perspectiva da própria empresa, considerando o material contido em documentos e publicações da empresa sobre si mesma e uma outra história, na perspectiva das herdeiras e interpretada a luz dos conceitos de gênero, família, empresa familiar e cultura organizacional - referencial teórico da pesquisa. A pesquisa desvelou uma íntima ligação entre o mundo da família e o mundo da empresa, bem como a existência de dois patrimônios distintos, que se equivalem, se entrelaçam e se sucedem, de geração em geração. Ao lado de um patrimônio material expressivo, detectou-se a existência de um patrimônio intangível considerável, com sua lógica própria de formação e continuidade, direcionando os rumos da vida da família e da empresa.This study relates the gender relations in positions of Power - the position of the inheritresses in the succession process of family firms. The motivation for this study is originated by three factors: the high percentage of family enterprises in the world - more than 80%, the reduced number of inheritresses in command of these firms and the small survival degree of these firms from the second generation on. The selected firm for this research was the Leão Jr. S/A, a large family company, which had experienced several succession processes. The challenge of this study was to understand how this family managed the firm and how its members administrated the imbrication of the family and entrepreneurial relations. It is hoped to broach with this work an aspect, not clearly visible in the world of labor, that refers to the net of social relations within a entrepreneur family, their representations, the symbols that permeate the life of the family and their family enterprise. The present research adopted an interdisciplinary approach, which, starting from the economic universe, tried to rescue the symbolic universe, under anthropological aspects, in order to detect the human relations in an entrepreneurial environment, with the objective to clarify more the succession process in family enterprises. The main objective of this study was to identify the position of the inheritnesses in the succession of family firms. In order to achieve this objective, the analysis focused on the understanding of the rules that guide the succession process in the studied family firm, and the factors that withdraw the female gender from the succession process. It was also tried to identify, with the inheritnesses, the meaning of belonging to a family whose identity is constructed by the firm. The empirical research was executed using the qualitative interpretative approach, looking inwards to the university of the representations, symbols, meanings, subjective and intentional character Based on the analysis of the informations, given by the inheritnesses, was constructed the history of the firm under two different perspectives - one under the view of the enterprise and another under the view of the inheritnesses. The results are analyzed focusing on the concepts of: gender, family, family firm and organizational culture - the theoretical framework of this study. The results unveil a close relation between the family and the entrepreneurial world, as well the existence of two distinct patrimonies, equal in value, which interlace and succeed from generation to generation. Besides the considerable material patrimony, the existence of an intangible patrimony was detected, whose formation and continuation shows a logic of its own, guiding the life stile of the family and the firm and delimiting the place of the inheritnesses in the succession process.
