Summary/Abstract: Bulgarian common lawis an integral part of the history of the Bulgarian state and law. In the Middle Ages, a number of researchers of the problem assumed that inheritance in our country took place in a way that was regulated by the Croatian and Russian sources, namely, by custom, only the sons, not the daughters, of the testator inherited. This was also preserved in the years of Ottoman rule, when only sons and male descendants inherited. In most Bulgarian lands, daughters and female descendants did not inherit. They were entitled to receive clothing and a dowry. After the Inheritance Law of 1890 came into force in Bulgaria, daughters were given the right to inherit the property of their deceased father. Despite the right recognized by law, the people did not approve of this. The usual provisions governing the division of the father's property are also diverse.
