Abstract
Property and Inheritance Law. History of Law, Civil and Constitutional Law
As is well known, "property" as a constitutional right is not congruent with "property" in the sense of private law. The two are not merely in a relationship of more and less, but separated by a fundamental difference: Unlike its constitutional counterpart, property under private law is inseparably connected with the right of succession and even owes its origin to it. It can only have its characteristic absolute power, if it continues to have an effect beyond the death of its owner. Property as a constitutional right, on the other hand, is based solely on the trust that legislature has aroused in an individual through regulation. Accordingly, it is also conceivable without right to inheritance, and in the course of constitutionalization it has been separated from the latter in a process that reversed the emergence of the private law concept of property. However, insofar as legislature has recognized property in the sense of private law, it sets limits on the regulation of succession.
