Roman Inheritance Law as an Inspiration of Current Inheritance Law

Summary/Abstract: Roman inheritance law developed quite early. Already before the 5th century it was labelled as the most detailed part of the Roman law, which was built on certain values and which was ruled by basic principles. Inheritance was an important part of life for Romans, initially connected to a non-material position of the deceased father and the holder of the homely cult, nevertheless with the development of the society, it was the material part of inheritance which became prevalent. The original Roman legal principles of Inheritance law, however, remained through the evolutional changes and they were alternatively made into exceptions. These principles were such firmly based that some of them survived in the current inheritance law. The study analyses those principles, through which it expounds the character of Roman inheritance law and its transformation in current Czech inheritance law.
