Summary/Abstract: Since the 19th century, German law has been a legal standard for the development of various institutions of Russian civil law, including one of the central civil institutions, i.e. the institution of legal transaction. The reform of civil legislation which is currently carried out in Russian is also based on the advanced experience of German law. This explains the need for a comparative legal analysis of the formal requirements of the Russian and German legal systems in relation to a legal transaction as a will expression. Legal transaction as a will expression can be represented in different forms: written or oral, implicative or notarial. The essential part of the analysis of formal requirements for legal transactions is a research into the legal consequences of non-compliance with these requirements.
