Civil Law

Inheritance law, contrary to appearances, is not among the simplest areas of law. The same applies to the process of succession. For someone inexperienced in solving legal puzzles—which I assume you might be—it may present significant challenges if they attempt to independently answer questions such as whether they are entitled to inherit, and if so, how to claim the inheritance.

Accepting inheritance outright means that the heir inherits without any limitations regarding the debts of the estate. They are therefore responsible for all these debts with their entire property—both the inherited assets and the resources they possessed at the time of the opening of the estate.

In this material, I will explain cases in which a person, although legally considered a potential heir, does not inherit from the deceased.

Disinheritance and exclusion from inheritance are legal institutions in inheritance law that allow for the deprivation of inheritance rights, even though the person to whom they apply formally belongs to the circle of heirs.

The death of a child is a huge personal tragedy for the whole family. Polish law offers the possibility for them to be adequately compensated for their loss.

In the event of the death of a loved one, Polish law offers compensation to remedy, at least in part, the impact of the personal tragedy you suffered.

Nothing can fully compensate for the death of a loved one, but Polish law offers the possibility to reduce the extent of the experienced distress.

If you have suffered damage as a result of a medical error, you can claim appropriate compensation. Of course, it is not as simple as always when legal issues are involved.

When going to a hospital or clinic, you should worry not only about your health condition, but also about whether you will be provided with appropriate help.
