The article analyzes the institutions of inheritance law in a Hungarian legal document dating from the first third of the 13th century, the Oradea Register. Despite a certain stereotypical nature of the narrative of the Oradea Register records, it can be concluded that the institutions of inheritance law are found, among other things, in the terminology of the monument (ultimum testamentum, ius haereditarium, terra hęreditaria, hęres). The records also contain some decisions that are not entirely testamentary in nature, but are close to some aspects of the purpose of inheritance law, namely decisions made in anticipation of imminent death. The difference compared to wills is the immediate effect of these acts. Among the records, we also find examples of public wills made before a public institution and private wills.
