1 New institutions of inheritance law in comparison with the Swiss law Abstract The new legislation of the civil code no 89/2012, brings major changes to the Czech inheritance law. Institutes, that has been traditionally part of most of the European countries has been after decades reintroduced into the Czech legal system. Moreover there are also institutes, which are completely new. These institutes are namely inheritance contract, legacy, renouncement of inheritance, surrender of inheritance, alienation of inheritance and codicil. This thesis aims to describe these institutes in detail, including their historical background. The new inheritance law legislation has been mostly influenced by the legislation effective in Czechoslovakia during 1920s and 1930s, meaning ABGB - the Austrian Civil code enacted in 1811. Also parts of the draft of a new civil code from 1937 were used as a template, as well as current civil codes of other European countries, as for example the German BGB or the Swiss ZGB. For the purpose of a legal comparison, this thesis contains also a brief description of the Swiss legislation concerning the above mentioned institutes.

The purpose of this study was to contribute to a more complete understanding of the family inheritance experience by exploring the perspectives of beneficiaries. This qualitative study aimed to describe and discuss how individuals' sibling relationships were impacted following the distribution process of an inheritance that was intended to be equally distributed. Eight individuals participated in semi-structured interviews, with areas of inquiry covering perceptions of challenges and benefits of the distribution process, fairness of the outcome of distribution among siblings, and the impact the process has had on their sibling relationships. The data was analyzed using transcendental phenomenology. Findings suggest families experience varying degrees of conflict during inheritance distributions, but not all conflict was devastating to the relationships following the distributions. Specific relational aspects were identified in contributing to the level of satisfaction of the distribution, which subsequently affected their relationships afterward. Additionally, the handling of conflict and efforts to repair relational strains significantly contribute to relational outcomes following the distribution. The majority of participants reported stronger relationships following the inheritance distribution. The findings provide a foundation for further research to explore beneficiary's experiences of receiving an inheritance within multi-child families. / Master of Science
