New Civil Code

Navigate the new Civil Code! The revolutionary changes in civil law will affect everyone from 1 January 2014. The new series of popular and educational publications comprehensively covering the whole range of issues regulated by the new Civil Code is intended mainly for readers who are not legal experts but need to orient themselves in the new legal regulation. The revolution in civil law did not avoid the law of inheritance, which is the subject of Part IV. The reader will learn about possible acquisitions in the event of death, i.e. wills and contracts of inheritance or the new institution of bequests. The compulsory share of the non-nominative heirs has also been reformed. We also pay attention to issues of disinheritance. In the course of the discussion on the transfer of the estate to the heirs, we will explain the acquisition of the estate, the administration of the estate and its inventory, the confirmation and distribution of the estate and the issue of debts passing to the heirs. The last part focuses on the issue of alienation of inheritance.
