Summary/Abstract: The importance of succession in the Church has been preserved up to the present. Today, basing its Status and regulations of organization and functioning on the canonical principles and according to the present civil legislation, the Romanian Orthodox Church may succeed both lay people and hierarchs or other members of the clergy, using its legal right to succession guaranteed by the State. In the present research I shall attempt a concrete juridical analysis regarding the exercise of the succession rights by monks and nuns, starting the analysis from the present legislative norms regarding the institution of succession in Romania and I will also research the Christian-Orthodox tradition regarding monastic life, especially the canonical and ecclesial stipulations that address the juridical situation of the assets after the decease of the monks and nuns.
