Summary/Abstract: One of the most important stages of inheritance proceedings was the inventory of the legacy. When completed, an inventory gave the successors a chance to assess if they were interested in the acquisition of inheritance and to settle testators debts and claims. When an estate was highly indebted relatives had the right to opt out from it. This was the case with the inventory of the legacy of Samuel and Katarzyna Zawadzki from 1682.
