Statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings
Zethner, Aleš ; Šustek, Petr (advisor) ; Salač, Josef (referee)
Statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings Abstract This thesis deals with the possible statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings or, as the case may be, identification of the conditions under which such statute of limitations is possible, since this becomes a current issue in a situation when there is an increase in the number of drawn up wills and length of inheritance proceedings. The thesis describes related legal institutions, including an analysis of related case law, and is applied to a specific case, whereas the author concludes that the statute of limitations of a plea concerning the voidability of a will as part of inheritance proceedings is possible, when the limitation period commences on the day that a disinherited descendant provably learned of the existence of a will and not the drawing up of a will or death of the testate. The author's conclusion, to a considerable extent, contradicts the very latest judgement of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic which is also analysed in the thesis. From the author's point of view, this judgement is a strongly law-making decision which is not entirely consistent with the previous decision-making of the Supreme Court of the Czech...

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...

Testament
Šmat, Ondřej ; Thöndel, Alexandr (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
The main goal of this thesis is the complex description of the testament. The problems of this ancient and utmost important instrument of law, which is given to the testator to decide who will get his property after his death, is comprehensively described in the five chapters of this work. This thesis mainly focuses on the key element in the Czech civil law of current time, which is the new civil code that brings severe changes especially to the hereditary law. Major differences can be seen especially in comparison with the so called socialistic civil codes. The new civil law regulation surpasses the ideologically motivated and oversimplified provisions of these old laws. The most important changes are bound with the new basic principles, especially with the testator's will as a leading principle of the hereditary law. This principle is in fact mostly applied in the testament law; therefore the new civil code has great impact on the examined topic. The first chapter of this work is dedicated to the creation of testament as the instrument of law in the beginnings of civilization. It includes further development in several ancient states and the chapter is closed with the more detailed analysis of the base source of the modern civil law, the roman private law. The second chapter describes history and...

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...

Testament
Kotrnochová, Tereza ; Thöndel, Alexandr (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
V ANGLICKÉM JAZYCE The aim of my thesis was to carry out a detailed analysis of one of the most important institutions of the law of succession - testament. My secondary objective was to compare briefly the Czech legislation of testament with the legislation of Germany, which was one of the sources of inspiration for the Czech recodification works. Legislation of this institute after the adoption of the Civil Code significantly transformed and strengthened the testing freedom of the testator. Testament is one of the three forms of testamentary disposition that make it possible for the testator to decide how his property is going to be managed after his death. The first of the six chapters deals generally with law of succession, explains the key terms, concepts and important leading principles. Furthermore this chapter presents various prerequisites of inheritance and generally characterizes and defines the institute of testament. In the second chapter, I am aiming to outline the historical development of testament which roots can be tracked back to Roman law. In the following subchapters I am describing the legislation changes of this institution in our country with particular attention to the ABGB, another important source of inspiration, and also to the form of the institute in the period of...

Burešová, Veronika ; Thöndel, Alexandr (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
The thesis debates one of the modes of succession, namely testamentary succession. A testament is, in accordance with Law No. 89/2012 of the Civil Code, one of the dispositions mortis causa. Inheritance contract and testamentary clause on legacy, along with testament, belong among dispositions mortis causa according to the law cited. The deceased exercises his or her will through such. The target of this work is to describe the current form of testamentary succession in its effective rule, focusing on facultative elements of a testament. The work is divided into six chapters. The opening chapter contains a discussion on succession rights, first in general and then the requirements of the creation of succession rights follow, as well as the other inheritance titles in their effective rule. The second chapter defines a brief excursion into the Roman law. In the subchapters, individual testament forms in the Roman law, testamentary competence, succession against testament, revocation and nullity of testament are included. The third chapter deals with testamentary succession itself; it is divided into eight subchapters. The first subchapter defines the term of testament. The following two subchapters deal with legal competence and the effects of error. The testament form is defined in the fourth subchapter. In...
