Abstract

The the basic provision forming the institutional contractual succession system is the principle termed in legal science as the provisional acquisition of hereditary property. In turn, the person, involved in the event, acquired the legal status of a singular heir. The determining feature for the use of such an approach is formulated as donatio mortis causa. At the moment, the formula donatio mortis causa is used as the basis for modification (transition) of the gift contract into succession agreement. Accordingly, the aim of the paper is to identify the essential conditions which lawfully contribute for transition process, mentioned above.
