Rozliczenia majątkowe oraz reprezentacja jednopłciowych partnerów w związkach nieformalnych
Asset settlement and representation of same-sex partners in informal relationships

Summary/Abstract: The division of assets after the dissolution of a same-sex relationship generates an increasing number of problems in relation to the institutionalization of both same-sex and different-sex relationships in different EU countries. Polish law does not recognize civil partnerships or same-sex marriages. However, it has become more common for a same-sex partners from a marriage registered outside Poland to acquire rights under the rules of common marital property law in force in another country, which has legal consequences under Polish law. In practice, in day-to-day matters and in legal transactions, partners act on the basis of very specific powers of attorney, granting them a much wider range of rights than those to which spouses are authorized under the common marital property law.
