TI - Unworthiness of inheritance due to non-alimentation – de lege lata
AB - The article analyzes the institution of unworthiness of inheritance due to non-alimentation under current legislation. It focuses primarily on the amendment of Article 928 §1of the Polish Civil Code, which introduces an additional ground for declaring an heir unworthy of inheritance in the case of persistent evasion of the obligation of supporting the heir. The author also signals practical difficulties in evidencing cases of unworthiness under the referred regulation in court proceed- ings. The amendment aims not only to increase the sense of justice in inheritance but also to raise the ethical standards of behavior of heirs.
