Knowledge of inheritance law is essential for every (aspiring) lawyer. The practical significance of this area of law is immense. Accordingly, a substantial part of inheritance law remains a mandatory subject in legal state examinations. This textbook presents inheritance law clearly and understandably. The focus is on those areas that all students must master for their exams, namely statutory and testamentary succession, legacies and compulsory shares, as well as the connections of inheritance law with general contract and property law, such as transactions during life for the event of death, certificates of inheritance, and inheritance communities. The new edition takes into account the case law and literature published since 2010 and incorporates the legislative changes that have occurred in the meantime. It offers a comprehensible presentation of the material relevant to training and examinations.
