Rutar, Radka ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
Statutory inheritance Abstract This thesis discusses the legal regulation of inheritance law with emphasis on the institute of statutory inheritance, from the point of view not only of Czech law but also in comparison of the individual legal institutes with their foreign regulation. The aim of this thesis is to answer the question whether the current Czech legislation can provide a prudent, safe and predictable framework for the valid adjustments of property relations of the decedent and the participants of the inheritance proceedings after the death of the decedent The submitted thesis is structurally divided into three larger parts which further separate into a total of fifteen chapters. The first part of the thesis briefly discusses the gradual historical evolution of inheritance law and its codification on the territory of Czech lands and of historically related countries. The first part also includes the introduction of the purpose of inheritance law and its controlling principles, formulated at the beginning of the 20th century by the outstanding Czech lawyer Prof. Emanuel Tilsch.

Legacy in law of succession
Svoboda, Martin ; Frinta, Ondřej (advisor) ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
The present thesis discusses the legislation of an ancient and new-old institute of inheritance law, legacy. Legacy was in the Czech legal environment in the 60's of the last century as a traditional institute of inheritance law, allowing the testator wide opportunities of acquiring his property mortis causa. With the effectiveness of the Civil Code No. 40/1964 Coll., that released its regulation, completely disappeared from the public's legal awareness. The topic of the legacy became recurrent in connection with the recodification of private law, because adoption of Civil Code No. 89/2012 Coll. caused a return of legacy to the Czech law. The specificity of the legacy is its disruption with universal succession, which is otherwise typical for inheritance law. The main objective of the thesis is to evaluate the legacy and to conclude about the quality of the current legislation and its usefulness for legal practice. The secondary objective is to acquaint readers with the legacy and define its position in the legal environment. For the interpretation is chosen a procedure that goes from general to specific, which corresponds to the content layout of the thesis. The first part of the thesis deals with an analysis of the legacy as a whole and its differentiation from classical inheritance as well as...

This is followed by a historical...

Fideicommissum
Kundelová, Veronika ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
Fideicommissum Abstract The diploma thesis addresses the institute of fideicommissum or fideicommissary substitution which was reintroduced in the legal order of the Czech Republic by the new Civil Code No. 89/2012 Coll. The institute of fideicommissum is part of private law, in particular of inheritance law, which can be found in Chapter 3, Part 3 of the Civil Code. Fideicommissum assists to adjust property and family relations, in particular by preserving and transferring family assets for private purposes in accordance with the current needs of today's society. The institute is nowadays very practical as it enables a testator to dispose of his/her property in a better way in the event of his/her death as it allows the testator in predictable situations to appoint any persons who are to take the position of the original heir specified in the last will and testament in the event of heir's death. The first part of the thesis focuses on the creation of the institute of fideicommissum, its development and its various forms in which the institute occurred throughout the history. The second part of the thesis introduces institutes of private law, in particular inheritance law which is linked with the institute of fideicommissum or has some common features. This part deals with the essence and significance of...

Fideicommissum
Kostelecká, Barbora ; Dvořák, Jan (advisor) ; Elischer, David (referee)
This thesis deals with the fideicommissary substitution that has made a reappearance in the civil law of the Czech Republic after fifty years. This change came into effect on the 1st of January 2014, along with a newly effective and modernized Civil Code. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the reasons for the reintroduction of the fideicommissary substitution into the Czech inheritance law. The thesis is divided into three main sections. The first section focuses on the definition of the fideicommissary substitution. The fideicommissary substitution is also compared to other similar institutions of the Czech inheritance law. The second section focuses on the origins of the fideicommissum in Roman law and its alterations throughout the history, with the emphasis on its adaptations in the Civil Codes effective on the territory of the current Czech Republic. The last section focuses on comparing the institution of the fideicommissary substitution to similar institutions in France, Germany, Spain and Scotland in order to demonstrate the differences and similarities among them.

The will of the testator under the new Civil Code
Valešová, Nina ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Švestka, Jiří (referee)
The subject of my diploma thesis is to show in detail and describe the basic institutes of inheritance with regards to the autonomous will of the testator, according to the Civic Code after the recodification in force since 1.1.2014. With regards to significant and extensive changes of the means, with which the testator can manage the treatment of the inheritance mortis causa, I considered this subject relevant and that is why I chose it. I tried to supplant a wholesome view of the possibilities open to testators in case they decide to change the division of their property out of the lawful hereditary succession. The thesis is divided into six chapters that contain the history of inheritance in our country, basic terms, reasons for the creation of the current codex, institutes governing the transition of the estate to the legal successor and the largest part explains the inheritance titles according to the changes brought about by the alteration of the civil law. In the first part of the text, I describe the historical development and basis of inheritance laws in the period since the last decade of the reign of the Habsburg dynasty, until the adoption of the Civic Code in 2012, since it is valuable to have at least some idea about the circumstances leading to the current way of inheritance. The...

Inheritance contract as a new institute of succession law
Srp, Michal ; Elischer, David (advisor) ; Thöndel, Alexandr (referee)
The present work deals with an ancient and new-old legal institution of inheritance contract in actual private law. Inheritance contract (pactum successorium) was in the Czech legal order in the 50s of the last century as a traditional historical institute of inheritance law, and was conceived as the strongest inheritance title; its conclusion was nevertheless permissible only between husband and wife or fiancé. The mentioned problems began again to be relevant in the context of the government's draft of Act no. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code (hereinafter the Civil Code), for the approval of the Chamber of Deputies took place on November 9th, 2011. The re-codification represents a return of inheritance contract to the Czech succession law, but it has also brought a number of other major institutes that current regulation for a long time neglected or did not even know. Institute of inheritance contract emphasizes the will of the testator, to whom gives another opportunity to arrange his property in case of death (mortis causa). Its peculiarity is that it combines both elements: the last will (testamentary nature) from which it has developed and elements of the contract (contractual nature). Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

Succession
Prevužňáková, Tatiana ; Salač, Josef (advisor) ; Šustek, Petr (referee)
This thesis deals with the topic of succession, principles of the inheritance law and Europeanization of the inheritance law. For a deeper understanding of the matter of the inheritance law, this thesis focuses on the basic points of historical development influencing this area of law in our territory, especially legal regulation of inheritance law in Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the General Civil code and finally deals with characteristic features of the current inheritance law in the Czech Republic. Succession applies in case that several conditions of subjective and objective character are met simultaneously. An inheritance is acquired upon the death of the deceased, in case when the deceased left some property and a person who shall gain the inheritance is an eligible heir, with the inheritance title, being either the law or the testament. Finally, the last condition, that the heir did not renounce the inheritance, shall be met. Abovementioned substantive conditions of succession are individually discussed in the thesis. The main attention is focused on substantive requirements and conditions of succession that are systematically analysed in subchapters. The final part of the thesis analyses the succession with a foreign element and Europeanization of legal regulation of the inheritance law....

The institution of legacy in Czech and Italian inheritanc
Koníčková, Markéta ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Hendrychová, Michaela (referee)
The thesis deals with one of the reinstated institutes which are introduced by act number 89/2012 Sb., that is by the new Civil Code and it is the institute of Legacy. This work is divided into five chapters, where firstly it discusses the characteristics of this institute in Roman Law and compares it with the institute of fideicommissum. In addition this work deals with characteristics of this institute in Italian law from the times of Unification of Italy up to the present day, therefore it briefly deals with both of the Italian civil codes. The most extensive chapter deals with the institute in our own legal history, especially about its form in ABGB, the "warp" and the "middle" code and it is followed by chapter, which deals with our new Civil Code, which has returned this institute into our Inheritance Law. The whole work is concluded by a comparison of the similarity of this institute in Italian and Czech legal order. This work is elaborated on positive note and its aim is to show that this is very practical institute, which is in both ours and Italian law very similar even though it has been developing for centuries. I believe that it could become normal part of donation mortis causa.
