heir

This article presents analysis of the norms of hereditary law of some countries of the
European Union, normative-legal acts, that regulate the procedure of succession including
cases of absence of the will of the testator (if the deceased was not married and had no
children; if parents are already dead; if the deceased was not married but had children; if the
deceased left the spouse of the married couple; if the deceased left husband/wife and children),
prescribing the same rules for all of the countries regardless of the nationality.
