Testament
Havlíková, Julie ; Lederer, Vít (advisor) ; Frinta, Ondřej (referee)
Testament The diploma thesis explores a significant aspect of inheritance law testaments as a means of posthumous property disposition. The primary objective is to comprehensively describe and analyse the existing legal framework governing testaments, as stipulated in Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code. In contrast to preceding regulations, this current legislation provides a broad spectrum of options empowering the testator to shape the destiny of their estate after death. The examination of testaments and associated legal constructs extends beyond a mere scrutiny of statutory provisions. The study incorporates a jurisprudential perspective, encompassing both contemporary and historical dimensions. The analysis draws insights from commentaries, explanatory reports, professional articles, and diverse literary sources, with a brief exploration of foreign legal paradigms. The first chapter serves as an introduction to inheritance law, elucidating its fundamental principles and contextualizing the traditional tenets of this legal domain. This section also scrutinizes the presumptions underlying inheritance. In the ensuing chapter, the focus shifts to a detailed exploration of testaments, encompassing aspects such as acquisition capacity, error resolution, and testament interpretation. A comparative analysis...

The first chapter introduces the reader to the law of succession in general and then to its principles, which is important for a better understanding of the whole issue. The second chapter focuses on the initial enshrinement of the principle of autonomy of the will in Roman law and the subsequent development of this principle throughout modern history, especially in the General Civil Code and subsequently in the civil codes of the twentieth century. The institutions by which the testator has been able to express his will throughout history are described and compared with each other. The third chapter concerns the new Civil Code. This current legislation is very different from the previous ones. It provides for a very detailed regulation of the law of succession and gives the testator a wide range of options as to how he can express his will and dispose of his property in the event of death. In this chapter, I analyse the different acquisitions in case of death and their...

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.
