The population of Black farmers in the U.S. has declined to 2% of farmers in the U.S. because of institutional racism, land dispossession, heir’s property, and youth’s disinterest in farming. Most works on Black farmers have focused on racism, and heirs’ property, but little is known about the influence of race, gender, and inheritance on Black farmers’ experience. To understand this, I asked: what are the contemporary challenges associated with farming among Black farmers in Mississippi? How do race, gender, and inheritance influence the experiences of Black farmers? And how do Black farmers cope with their farming challenges? Twenty farmers in Mississippi were interviewed using semi-structured questions, and data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings shows that farming is a ‘retirement haven.’ Interviewees experience “closed door” to resources. Farming is gendered, and heirs’ property limits Black farmers to small acreages. Cooperative provides support for Black farmers.

Special attention is to be given to the polemic aspects, arising out of 2002 Civil Code provisions. Therefore, six major themes are analyzed. Initially, descent law origin and legal basis are presented, as well as collation historical evolution, indicating its definition and legal basis. Then, it deals with collation subjective aspect, approaching the most relevant quests in regard to heirs who are compelled to collate according to Brazilian legal system. The third theme reports to the objective aspect, concerning assets identification which, donated to heirs whilst deceased was still alive, arise the need of collation, or not. Analysis on how to effect collation and the amount of donated asset to be taken into consideration are presented right after as the fourth theme. The theme before last approaches concept and legal basis of inheritance share of one's parents and calculation of collation assumptions, collation dismissal and unofficial decrease. Finally, it reports to lawsuit to effect collation / O presente estudo destina-se a abordar, de forma crítica, a colação, instituto do direito das sucessões com forte aplicação prática, o qual, em regra, é objeto de análises superficiais e contraditórias, em virtude das próprias previsões legais que o regulamentam. Dá-se especial atenção aos seus aspectos polêmicos, decorrentes das previsões do Código Civil de 2002. Serão analisados, para tanto, seis temas principais. Apresentam-se, de início, a origem e os fundamentos do direito das sucessões, assim como a evolução histórica do instituto da colação, com a indicação de sua definição e fundamentos. Em seguida, trata-se do aspecto subjetivo da colação, por meio da abordagem das mais relevantes indagações quanto aos herdeiros que são obrigados a colacionar no ordenamento jurídico pátrio. O terceiro tema reporta-se ao aspecto objetivo, no que concerne à identificação dos bens que, doados em vida pelo de cujus aos seus herdeiros, levam à necessidade, ou não, de colação. A análise da forma de se efetivar a colação e do valor do bem doado a ser levado em conta é apresentada logo em seguida, no quarto tema. Como penúltimo tema, abordam-se o conceito e os fundamentos da legítima e o seu cálculo nas hipóteses de colação, de dispensa de colação e de redução por inoficiosidade. Por fim, reporta-se ao procedimento judicial para a efetivação da colação

The objectives were: 1. investigate the adaptative efficiency of familial company heirs; 2. describe the aspects of the adaptative dynamics of the heirs; 3. describe the aspects of the familial dinamic internalized by the heirs of each family; 4. investigate the repercussions obtained by the analysis of the adaptative efficiency of each heirs in the familial company context. The method used was clinic, and the technique called the preventive clinic interview. Seven heirs of two different familial companies were interviewed, being that all of them work at them. The data of the interviews have been clinically assessed by the Operable Adaptive Diagnostic Scale OADS - and factor analysis, second to the Adaptation Evolution Theory by Ryad Simon. The results found were: 72% (5 heirs) have been classified in group 4 Severe Ineffective Adaptation; 14% (1 heir) in group 5 - Grave Ineffective Adaptation, and 14% (1heir) in group 3 Moderate Ineffective Adaptation in Crisis. In the analysis of the results, it has been verified that importance of the Affective-Relational area, 100% of the heirs were classified with highly inadequate answers and the one who balanced the different classifications, mentioned above, was in Productivity area. Coming to this diagnostic we could perceive the importance of the relationship with the father figure, present both at home and company. In the analysis of the heirs and the dynamic of the two families, it was concluded that when the father figure behaves in an omnipotent and non replaceable way, then the children are not allowed to grow up and search for satisfaction in what they produce, different from when this father is able to set boundaries, but more steadily, delegating responsibilities to his children, demostrating trustworthifulness on them. This posture facilitate the reach of satisfaction in the Productivity area. In this study it has become evident that the familial dynamic extend itself until the enterpreneurial one so that in one of these families, whose father was able to delegate to this children the control over the company, the dynamic in the enterprise seems to be healthy, permeated by constructive impulses. As for the other, whose father maintains the control, it seems to be very sick, being the destructive impulses in majority, which is spread to the company a well. / O presente trabalho visa estudar a eficácia adaptativa dos herdeiros de empresa familiar, segundo a teoria da adaptação de Ryad Simon. Os objetivos foram: 1. investigar a eficácia adaptativa dos herdeiros de empresa familiar; 2. descrever aspectos da dinâmica adaptativa dos herdeiros; 3. descrever aspectos da dinâmica familiar internalizada pelos herdeiros de cada família; 4. investigar as repercussões obtidas pela análise da eficácia adaptativa de cada herdeiro no contexto da empresa familiar. O método utilizado foi clínico e a técnica, a entrevista clínica preventiva. Foram entrevistados sete herdeiros de duas diferentes empresas familiar, todos os herdeiros atuam profissionalmente nelas. Os dados das entrevistas foram avaliados clinicamente por meio da Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada (EDAO), e análise dos fatores, segundo Teoria da Evolução da Adaptação, de Ryad Simon. Os resultados encontrados foram: 72% (5 herdeiros) encontraram-se classificados no grupo 4 Adaptação Ineficaz Severa, 14% (1 herdeiro) no grupo 5 Adaptação Ineficaz Grave, e 14% (1herdeiro) no grupo 3 Adaptação Ineficaz Moderada em CRISE. Na análise destes resultados verificou-se a importância central do setor Afetivo-Relacional, 100% dos herdeiros foram classificados com respostas pouquíssimo adequadas, e o que mesclou as diferentes classificações, descritas acima, foi no setor Produtividade. Frente a este diagnóstico percebemos a importância das relações com a figura paterna, presente tanto no lar como na empresa. Na análise dos herdeiros e da dinâmica das duas famílias concluímos que quando a figura paterna comporta-se de forma onipotente e insubstituível, não permite que os filhos cresçam e busquem satisfação no que produzem. Diferente de quando este pai consegue colocar limites, mas gradativamente delega responsabilidades aos filhos, demonstrando confiar neles. Esta postura facilita o encontro da satisfação na área produtiva. Neste estudo ficou evidente que a dinâmica familiar estende-se até a empresarial, desta forma em uma das famílias, cujo pai foi capaz de delegar aos filhos o poder na empresa, a dinâmica na empresa parece ser saudável, permeada por impulsos construtivos. Enquanto a outra, cujo pai mantém o poder na empresa, parece estar muito doente, predominando os impulsos destrutivos na família com repercussão, também, na empresa.

Statutory inheritance Abstract This thesis discusses the legal regulation of inheritance law with emphasis on the institute of statutory inheritance, from the point of view not only of Czech law but also in comparison of the individual legal institutes with their foreign regulation. The aim of this thesis is to answer the question whether the current Czech legislation can provide a prudent, safe and predictable framework for the valid adjustments of property relations of the decedent and the participants of the inheritance proceedings after the death of the decedent The submitted thesis is structurally divided into three larger parts which further separate into a total of fifteen chapters. The first part of the thesis briefly discusses the gradual historical evolution of inheritance law and its codification on the territory of Czech lands and of historically related countries. The first part also includes the introduction of the purpose of inheritance law and its controlling principles, formulated at the beginning of the 20th century by the outstanding Czech lawyer Prof. Emanuel Tilsch. The individual institutes such as statutory classes of heirs, forced heirship or escheat are logically organised and described in detail from a historically-comparative perspective as well as from the perspective of foreign...

Text in English / This study indicates the strong link between the belief in the afterlife and the inception of testamentary dispositions in ancient Egypt. To understand law, and specifically succession law, the importance of religion must be understood. Religion was embedded in society. One of the most important principles of religion was maat, which formed the basis for law. The living and dead formed part of the same community. The belief in the afterlife implied an immortality, an eternal continuation of life. There was a moral relationship between the dead and living and the deceased was dependent on sustenance after death. There was an obligation for the family to sustain the deceased, but this piety diminished and a need arose to make arrangements for sustenance prior to death. This led to the inception of the testamentary disposition document. The purpose of succession law is to maintain and strengthen the socio-economic structure in society and it therefore fulfils a social function. At the heart is the nuclear family. In ancient Egypt two systems of succession law developed: customary intestate succession and testate succession (by way of testamentary disposition). Different types of documents were used in ancient Egypt to serve the purpose of a testamentary disposition, such as the pious foundation and the imyt-pr. Important concepts and elements of succession law from the Old, Middle and New Kingdoms are identified and discussed. These include fideicommissum, trusts, usufruct, habitatio, legacies, the importance to indicate ownership of property, etc. The testamentary disposition documents of ancient Egypt must be one of the earliest examples of testate succession law. The Egyptian testamentary disposition, with its concepts and elements of succession law, was established centuries before Rome and Roman law were established. The resemblance to our modern-day wills and testaments through our Roman testate succession law heritage is remarkable. / Classics and World Languages / D. Litt. et Phil.
