Institute of Succession in Civil Law and Its Application

Relations that arise in social life are regulated by a number of institutions of various legal fields. In particular, in the field of civil law, there are such relations that arise and are formed between the subjects of civil law, whose development is ensured by the legal heirs of the participating parties due to the occurrence of a specific life situation. This institution is called succession in civilization. This article examines the definition of the institution of succession, the issues of universal and singular legal succession, and their application in civil law. In particular, succession is the phenomenon of transfer of property rights and obligations from one person to another person directly on the basis of law or contract. Legal succession can be universal or singular. In universal legal succession, the totality of all rights and obligations belonging to one person is transferred to the second person. For example, when several legal entities are merged, it can be seen that all the rights and obligations of the predecessors are transferred to the newly established legal entity in the order of universal succession. Singular succession means the transfer of rights to a certain part of the property, not the whole. The institution of succession is widely used in relations involving citizens and legal entities.
