Die Erbauseinandersetzung

The law pertaining to a community of heirs and the distribution of an estate is of considerable significance for legal practice and for jurisprudence, since as a rule an estate passes into the ownership of not just one but of several heirs. Christina Eberl-Borges submits a detailed analysis of the distribution of the estate including questions of liability and retransfer. She also considers those aspects related to corporate law. She deals with the legal nature of the community of heirs as a joint ownership and describes the particular characteristics of the agreement made between the joint heirs.
