The legislature, introducing the grounds of unworthiness in the form of persistent avoidance the performance of maintenance obligations towards the testator and avoidance of the duty of care towards the testator, points out that negatively assessed failures of duties of a financial and personal nature should also have their consequences in the form of the possibility of depriving the heir of the right to inheritance. In the further part of the text, the author reflects on the legal consequences of the testator’s forgiveness of the heir, as well as the consequences for legal proceedings of the introduced changes.}, title={Unworthiness to inherit – a few remarks in the context on the 2023 amendment}, type={text}, doi={https://doi.org/10.34616/150274}, keywords={unworthiness to inherit, inheritance law, law reform, civil code}, }
