Abstract

The article examines the problems of legal formation of the institution of hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. One of the most relevant topics in the study of modern jurisprudence is the problem of forming a single European legal space, the inclusion of national legal systems, the establishment of relationships between European integration and national law. The dialectical method and the analysis of theoretical developments of world scientists and general notarial practice show that a number of questions arise related to the correct distinction between the concept of hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. The purpose of this article is to determine the historical and legal nature of the institution of inheritance by hereditary transmission and the right of representation, to clarify the nature and features of application in practice, to refine concepts received from Roman private law and adaptation to international law. The main task of the study is to systematize and analyze the reform of the idea of origin and improvement of the procedure for the transfer of inheritance rights, legal consolidation, as well as development and regression in modern conditions. The article considers the legal constructions that guarantee the transfer of the right to inherit from the deceased heirs who did not have time to inherit to their descendants. It is concluded that it is important to improve the legislative delimitation of the procedure of inheritance transfer by hereditary transmission and hereditary representation. It is noted that these contradictions can be eliminated or reduced by harmonizing the law, which provides for the use of not only international agreements but also other instruments of regulation in order to achieve a certain degree of uniformity of norms.
