Inheritance relationships arise on the death of one person and the transfer of his property to other persons. The right of inheritance is the absolute right of a person, designated by law or by will, to declare whether he accepts or refuses an inheritance in his favour. Hereditary succession is divided into two main types - inheritance by law and inheritance by will. In the case of inheritance by law, the persons to whom the estate of the deceased passes, as well as their shares, are defined in the Law of Inheritance, and in the inheritance by request it is the will of the testator that determines who and what he will receive after his death.
