This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this concise exposition and analysis of the essential elements of law with regard to family relations, marital property, and succession to estates in Greece covers the legal rules and customs pertaining to the intertwined civic status of persons, the family, and property. After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of family and succession law, the authorities that adjudicate and administer the laws, and issues surrounding the person as a legal entity and the legal disposition of property among family members. Such matters as nationality, domicile, and residence; marriage, divorce, and cohabitation; adoption and guardianship; succession and inter vivos arrangements; and the acquisition and administration of estates are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice. The book is primarily designed to assist lawyers who find themselves having to apply rules of international private law or otherwise handling cases connected with Greece. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary, basic material of family and succession law.

Download or read book History of Inheritance Law written by Harry L. Munsinger J.D. Ph.D. and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that eighty percent of household wealth is inherited, and the average American who died in 2015 left approximately $177,000 to his or her family. Harry L. Munsinger, a lawyer practicing in Texas, explores the history of inheritance law in this fascinating book. Topics include: • English laws of succession, which evolved to favor wealthy families by passing real estate and family titles to the eldest surviving son. In contrast, the American colonies developed a democratic system of inheritance where land was divided equally among all the sons. • Goals of early inheritance laws, which were to keep ancestral lands in the family and to determine who would take the land when a father died. • Ways American laws of succession followed English common law during the colonial period and then developed variations more suited to America’s social and economic needs after the colonies won their independence from Britain. The author also highlights how any interested party can allege a defect in the execution of a will, how trusts were developed by courts of equity to avoid the rigid rules of English common law governing legal title and use of real property, and how families can safely and effectively transfer wealth.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce livre porte sur les conflits autour de l'héritage dans le monde européen de l'Antiquité à la fin du Moyen Âge. Il traite des règles de l'héritage et de la division des propriétés en Grèce ancienne, dans les Empires romain et byzantin, certains royaumes latins et l'Egypte musulmane, au temps des Mameloukes. Les sources mises à contribution dans ce livre sont diverses : sources documentaires, inscriptions, papyri et manuscrits fournissant pétitions et testaments, mais aussi des sources littéraires, des jugements rendus et des codes de lois. Le livre se concentre sur l'impact que les religions ont eu sur le droit familial et la transmission des biens, et offre une appréciation du phénomène pour la religion gréco-romaine, le judaįsme, le christianisme et l'islam. Il aborde finalement la question du traitement inégal des genres dans le monde la Méditerranée antique et médiévale
Download or read book From Mesopotamia to the Mishnah written by Jonathan S. Milgram and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2016-06-20 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Jonathan S. Milgram demonstrates that the transformation of inheritance law from the biblical to the tannaitic period is best explained against the backdrop of the legal and social contexts in which the tannaitic laws were formulated. Employing text and source critical methods, he argues that, in the absence of the hermeneutic underpinnings for tannaitic innovations, the laws were not the result of the rabbinic imagination and its penchant for inventive interpretation of Scripture. Turning to the rich repositories in biblical, ancient near eastern, Second Temple, Greek, Elephantine, Judean desert, and Roman sources, the author searches for conceptual parallels and antecedents as well as formulae and terminology adopted and adapted by the tannaim. Since the tannaitic traditions reflect the social and economic contexts of the tannaitic period - the nuclear family on privatized landholdings in urban centers - the author also considers the degree to which tannaitic inheritance laws may have emerged out of these contexts.

Download or read book Company Law and the Law of Succession written by Susanne Kalss and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is one of the first to link company law to the law of succession by concentrating on family businesses. It shows that, to understand the legal framework underlying the daily operations of family businesses, one needs legal analysis, empirical data, psychological and sociological knowledge. The book works on the premise that, since many businesses have been founded by families, practitioners need to develop an understanding of the legal background of such businesses and build up experience to be able to create contracts, trusts, foundations and other legal mechanisms to give shape to systems and procedures for the transfer of shares and control within the family. Comparing the national legal order, techniques, and mechanisms in a range of countries, the book examines parallel developments in these fields of law across the world. Finally, it demonstrates the room for companies, shareholders and the members of a family to develop individual solutions within the legal framework for transferring businesses and shares to the next generation.

Download or read book Ancient Greek Laws written by Ilias Arnaoutoglou and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-02-21 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this comprehensive and accessible sourcebook, Ilias Arnaoutoglou presents a collection of ancient Greek laws, which are situated in their legal and historical contexts and are elucidated with relevant selections from Greek literature and epigraphical testimonies. A wide area of legislative activity in major and minor Greek city-states, ranging from Delphoi and Athens in mainland Greece, to Gortyn in Crete, Olbia in South Russia and Aegean cities including Ephesos, Samos and Thasos, is covered. Ilias Arnaoutoglou divides legislation into three main areas: * the household - marriage, divorce, inheritance, adoption, sexual offences and personal status * the market-place - trade, finance, sale, coinage and leases * the state - constitution, legislative process, public duties, colonies, building activities, naval forces, penal regulations, religion, politics and inter-state affairs. Dr Arnaoutoglou explores the significance of legislation in ancient Greece, the differences and similarities between ancient Greek legislation and legislators and their modern counterparts and also provides fresh translations of the legal documents themselves.
