Die Doppelausschlagung werthaltiger Nachlässe im Namen des Minderjährigen

The waiver of inheritance is increasingly being used as an instrument to direct a valuable inheritance. The legal problems arising in this respect are multiplied if a parent declares such a waiver not only for himself but also on behalf of his minor child; especially if the goal of steering is not achieved. This study therefore aims to examine the legal framework for double renunciation that has existed since the reform of guardianship and care law and to analyze the risks of misinterpreting the relevant sections on the legal effects of renunciation.
