Published in German.
On the interface between the law of inheritance, social welfare law, the law of remedies, and the law of insolvency, the issue of the wills of those who are excessively indebted or are otherwise in need of help is of great significance for the legal doctrine of inheritance. From the standpoint of unconscionability, Lisa Fey enquires into whether the canons of the Social State restrict testamentary freedom as a formative aspect of the German law of inheritance.
