metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article highlights the principles of inheritance law in the Polish legal system. Specific emphasis
  is placed on testamentary freedom, appointment to inheritance only on the grounds of
  two titles and a limited number of statutory heirs. The author analyzes the consequences that
  the drawing up of a will may have for the persons closest to the testator. The subject of the considerations
  is both the nature of a legal act which is a will, the requirement of the form of wills
  and the admissibility of testamentary dispositions. Attention is paid to the admissibility of disinheritance
  and its effects. The text aims to answer the question whether depriving descendants,
  spouses and parents of the legitimate portion extends or restricts the testamentary freedom.
  The adopted legislative structure assumes that everyone who has the testamentary capacity,
  full legal capacity, may draw up a will. The act does not limit in any manner who can be appointed
  as the testamentary heir or the extent of such appointment. The testator is free to decide
  whether and when a will is to be drawn up. It is an expression of the principle of testamentary
  freedom. Anyone who has full capacity to act lawfully may exercise this freedom to make a will
  or not. However, if a person exercises this freedom, the scope and form of dispositions made
  depend solely on this person. Testamentary freedom is expressed in certain ways. Firstly, by
  making a will, a testator may change the statutory inheritance, appoint whomever they want
  and are not limited in terms of shares. Secondly, a testator may exclude certain persons from
  inheritance. The negative will and disinheritance serve this purpose.
