JUDICIAL INDIGNITY IN MATTERS OF SUCCESSION IN THE CASE OF THE CRIME OF BLACKMAIL

Summary/Abstract: The physical and mental freedom of a person is an important value in contemporary society and the real expression of the development and promotion of human rights. Freedom of thought and action means the ability to act according to one's own conscience in relation to social norms, and this requires protection against any illegal actions. The inheritance is characterized by fair relations of appreciation, consideration and honour between those who participate in such civil relations. Succession indignity is an important component of the law of succession which aims to remove from the succession the heir found guilty of committing certain illegal acts. These facts considered by law to be serious can be assessed both in terms of civil circumstances, but also in terms of elements that define crimes. Among them, blackmail, which is essentially an act of human coercion, is a crime specific to legal relations born of social relations which have as their object the right to inheritance and the individual freedom to decide on situations of death. Indignity operates both in the case of legal inheritance and in the case of testamentary inheritance when the „unworthy” person was gratified by will by the deceased.
