This book presents numerous instruments which create postmortal succession under Polish law. Next to inheritance law solution, one may apply specific inheritance (e.g. of agricultural farms) that benefits only such heirs who meet additional requirements, as well as undertake legal acts that allow to decide on heritability (or non-heritability) character of rights and duties (e.g. within the contract of mandate or company contracts). Also, there are numerous legislative instruments that allow for succession otherwise than by inheritance so that particular persons (and not heirs) benefit after the decedent. They include regulations of civil law but also e.g. banking law, social insurance law which are often comparable with nonprobate instruments (or will-substitutes) under American law or German Sonderrechtsnachfolge.

This Research Handbook examines the evolution of understandings and legal definitions of domestic abuse, illustrating the importance of expanding these beyond physical violence to encompass coercive control. Drawing on academic literature, legal doctrine and the lived experiences of victims and survivors, it highlights how responses to domestic abuse can be improved in civil, family and criminal justice systems.Through an analysis of global legal developments, contributing authors identify failures in the handling of domestic abuse and provide expert insight into how to address these. They focus in particular on the law and processes for obtaining protection orders across jurisdictions, and the handling of domestic abuse in financial and child arrangement proceedings following the breakdown of a relationship. Chapters also cover key issues such as LGBTQ+ intimate partner violence, the prosecution and sentencing of domestic abuse and defences for victims/survivors. The Research Handbook emphasises the importance of effective legal responses to domestic abuse in fulfilling human rights treaty obligations.The Research Handbook on Domestic Violence and Abuse is an essential resource for scholars and students of family law, criminal law, criminal justice and social policy. It is also an important guide for legal professionals seeking to sensitively handle cases involving domestic abuse.

≫Social Welfare Recipients and their Participation in the Estate. A Dogmatic Analysis of Effective Legal Strategies before and after the Inheritance≪: Under German law, the participation of social welfare recipients in the estate can be achieved effectively by legal instruments which are ? regarding the regulatory social law systems ? functionally favourable. Such instruments must not jeopardise the welfare entitlement and have to be, at the same time, legally valid. This thesis examines not only legal strategies for testators, but also own legal structuring possibilities for social welfare recipients.

In Deutschland werden Heimtiere - am haeufigsten Hunde und Katzen ? millionenfach gehalten. Je staerker die emotionale Bindung zum Tier ist, desto relevanter sind fuer die Beteiligten Fragen wie diese: Wer darf das Heimtier bei Trennung bzw. Scheidung zu sich nehmen? Gibt es ein ?Sorgerecht" und/oder ein ?Umgangsrecht" an bzw. mit Heimtieren? Wie kann sichergestellt werden, dass das Tier auch nach dem eigenen Tod adaequat versorgt wird? Diese und weitere Fragestellungen des Familien- und Erbrechts beantwortet die Autorin, indem sie das deutsche Familien- und Erbrecht inklusive Rechtsprechung und Schrifttum umfassend auf den Umgang mit Heimtieren untersucht. Dabei stellt die Autorin auch rechtsvergleichende Betrachtungen an und entwirft ein beispielhaftes ?Tiertestament".
