Subjects of Hereditary Succession and Subjects (Participants) of Hereditary Legal Relations
The article explores the peculiarities of the hereditary legal relationship, which allow to characterize its subjective composition. It has been established that hereditary legal relations are regulatory, but in case of violations of hereditary rights are transformed into protective ones. The relationship between the concepts of «subject of hereditary law», subject of hereditary succession, «subject of hereditary legal relationship», participant of hereditary legal relationship has been studied. It has been established that a testator and a heir are subjects of hereditary succession. The conclusion that the heir cannot be the subject of an inherited succession is further confirmed, since from the moment of death his legal capacity ceases. The heir is the central or compulsory subject (participant) of the hereditary legal relationship, because without the heir of the hereditary legal relationship there can be no legal relationship at all. It has been established that the categories «participant of hereditary legal relations» and «subject of hereditary legal relations» are identical and derived from «subject of hereditary law». It has been proved that the hereditary legal relationship should be considered conditional-absolute, as the passive duty belongs to absolutely all persons, and the active duty — to the notary. The existence of hereditary main and hereditary auxiliary legal relations has been established. The participants of hereditary legal relations were classified by the criterion of their subjective rights and legal obligations and by the presence of their interest in inheritance. A general analysis of the civil status of the heir and heir was carried out. The question of the granting of dough capacity to minors (including emancipated minors) is raised. Heirs were classified by the peculiarities of calling for inheritance, by the fact of awareness of the discovery of inheritance, by the place of residence of heirs. Since the vast majority of heirs are individuals, a more detailed analysis focuses on heir individuals. The experience of various countries on post mortem reproduction and the possibility of inheritance by such children has been studied.
