Summary/Abstract: The growing tendency of globalization has stipulated the resemblance of juridical norms of different countries. Among them are Lithuania and Romania – two magnificent Post-Soviet countries of the world. The given paper is dedicated to the problems associated with the transference of a deceased person’s property. It describes a legal mechanism of practical realization of the right of inheritance and nominates it as one of the major rights of an individual. The rules of inheritance are usually applied after the death of a person. They comprise the norms of “testate” and “intestate” successions, which are greatly influenced by socio-cultural, socio-economic and even, political factors. Nowadays, the greatest emphasis is put on the development of the “Inheritance Laws” of some Post-Soviet countries.

Romania’s and Lithuania’s inheritance laws after the fall of communism – this is the major challenge and the focus of our work. The given research is based on the theoretical data. Moreover, the carried out comparative analysis can be very useful for the lawyers and legal practitioners of different countries of the permanently changing modern world.
