Over het besluitvormingsproces bij het maken van een testament. Deel 1: In twee delen onderzoekt de auteur hoe de notaris de tuchtrechtelijke opdracht bij het maken van een testament kan vervullen. De tuchtrechter draagt de notaris op om ervoor te zorgen dat een testateur vrij en afhankelijk diens wil kan vormen. In het eerste deel gaat de auteur in op het proces van het nemen van een besluit over de inhoud van het testament. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over de wettelijke verdeling, de legitieme portie, verwerping, plaatsvervulling en inkorting: In dit artikel gaat de auteur in op de inkortingsregeling van artikel 4:87 lid 1 tweede zin BW. Die bepaling regelt slechts één geval. Een wettelijke regeling voor overige vergelijkbare gevallen wordt gemist. Bij een onterving denke men goed na over de regeling van plaatsvervulling en inkorting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Późnośredniowieczne testamenty wpisane do akt miejskich Szadku przechowywanych w zbiorach Archiwum Głównego Akt Dawnych w Warszawie stanowią cenne źródło dla historyków zajmujących się religijnością, relacjami społecznymi oraz kulturą materialną. Testament księdza Macieja syna Barona z 1488 roku, sporządzony przez notariusza publicznego Jakuba z Szadku w formie instrumentu notarialnego i wpisany cztery lata później do szadkowskiej księgi ławniczej stanowi tego doskonały przykład. Dokument ten zawiera szczegółowe zapisy dotyczące podziału majątku: legaty na rzecz krewnych i przyjaciół oraz zapisy na cele pobożne. Pokazuje pozycję społeczną pochodzącego z Szadku księdza, jego kontakty, m.in. z innymi duchownymi, oraz religijność i mentalność. W artykule została poddana analizie treść testamentu, zarówno jego formularz, jak i postanowienia testatora. W aneksie znajduje się krytyczna edycja analizowanego dokumentu.

Bohaterem prezentowanego tu tekstu jest Hieronim z Brzezia Lanckoroński h. Zadora (ok. 1627–1697), syn wojewody ruskiego i hetmana polnego koronnego Stanisława i kasztelanki lubelskiej Aleksandry Sienieńskiej h. Dębno. W artykule omówiono też dzieje życia jego rodzeństwa, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem tych dzieci wojewody ruskiego, które przeżyły zmarłego w 1657 r. ojca. Byli to: Przecław (zm. 1697), który osiągnął senatorską godność kasztelana czechowskiego, Jan Kazimierz (zm. 1679), który był kanonikiem krakowskim i lwowskim, Franciszek (zm. p. 1696), który nie piastował żadnych urzędów oraz Joanna (zm. p. 1696), która została żoną Andrzeja Świętopełka-Bolestraszyckiego. Przedstawiono tu ich sytuację rodzinną, stan majątkowy oraz działalność publiczną. Najwięcej miejsca poświęcono jednak na opisanie osiągnięć tytułowego bohatera tego tekstu. Był on bez wątpienia najwybitniejszym przedstawicielem jagielnickiej linii Lanckorońskich w drugiej połowie XVII w. Poczynając od roku 1649, walczył on niemal we wszystkich wojnach toczonych przez Rzeczpospolitą aż do połowy lat osiemdziesiątych tego stulecia. W 1658 r. został podkomorzym podolskim. Był również starostą skalskim, dymirskim i zawichojskim. Pod koniec życia związał się z IV ordynatem zamojskim Marcinem Zamoyskim, a następnie z wdową po nim, Anną z Gnińskich. Dzierżawił od nich klucz gorajski ordynacji zamojskiej i pełnił rolę klienta możniejszych krewniaków. Autorowi udało się dokładnie prześledzić zarówno dokonania Hieronima Lanckorońskiego w sferze publicznej, jak też jego sytuację majątkową i poczynania w życiu prywatnym. W artykule znalazło się wiele nowych ustaleń. Dokonano też korekty znacznej liczby bałamutnych stwierdzeń dotyczących tak podkomorzego podolskiego, jak też innych dzieci wojewody ruskiego Stanisława, które funkcjonują od dawna w literaturze przedmiotu. Warto też odnotować, że pomimo dwukrotnych ożenków, Hieronim Lanckoroński zmarł bezpotomnie. W maju 1696 r. sporządził bardzo interesujący testament, który został załączony jako aneks do niniejszego opracowania.

With an area almost 5 times smaller than that of Romania and a population of almost 9 million inhabitants, Switzerland is one of the richest and safest countries in the world. However, this stability is not seen in the legislative field, where each of the 26 cantons has its own laws and regulations. Nevertheless, there is a situation where the national law, applicable at federal level, imposes the one of the cantons to adopt a certain conduct. We will also analyze one of these situations in the following study, referring here to wills and succession pacts which, considering their importance in the civil circuit, must comply with a series of conditions in order to be considered valid. The study invites to a comparative reflection with the Romanian legislation, with the aim of analyzing, as all juristss do involuntarily, if others are better or if we can borrow something from the way the Swiss have chosen to regulate this matter. For the drafting of the study, both Swiss legal literature and the relevant legislation from the country of the cantons were used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Our article presents the little known so-called Ratiu collection of documents from the years 18501877 regarding the death of the Romanian hero Avram Iancu. The documents were donated in 2015 by Indrei Ratiu to the Lucian Blaga Central University Library in Cluj-Napoca. They are valuable legal historical documents regarding the testaments of Avram Iancu (1824-1872) and of his father, Alesandru Iancu (1797-1855), as well as their trials for succession. The documents were written mostly in the Romanian language with Cyrillic and Latin letters, but inserts and documents in German and Hungarian were also added. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

De status van het niet-gepasseerde concepttestament: In deze bijdrage gaat de auteur in op de civielrechtelijke uitspraken over de status van het concepttestament dat niet vóór overlijden werd gepasseerd. Een van die zaken betreft de overleden straatfotograaf Theo Niekus. Naar aanleiding van een petitie van de Stichting Theo Niekus zijn er Kamervragen gesteld over uitzondering op de nietigheid van artikel 4:109 BW als er sprake is van een concepttestament. Ook stelt de auteur de rol van de notaris ter discussie: moet deze spreken of zwijgen over het concepttestament van erflater? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The last will of one on the deathbed or being in danger is an ancient human practice, from antiquity till our days. Orally made initially, the last will is written after so that it wouldn't be ever forgotten. This will is especially related to the testator's estate distribution after death. To be legal, the written document must follow the law in force within the territory and time of writing it. Consequently, the will is a legal value paper concerning the testator's estate so divided to ensure the deceased resting in peace and a good life together of the ones who benefit of the legacy. Two are the wills I analyzed in the present study: a better known one belonging to Nicolae Senior of Ocna Sibiului, vice-voivode of Transylvania, and another one, less or almost unknown, belonging to her daughter, Magdalena. The two letters generated many succession disputes, even if they had been drawn up for the testator's soul salvation and for rewarding his/her intimates. The analyzed law conflicts show the importance of a will and, especially, of the inheritance, both for the testator and the beneficiaries. The will and its results illustrate the testator's society directed by common laws or judicial standards that I have approached by the means of sociological, historical and judicial filters, the two acts being only a sample from the large number of medieval wills.

While the boy in Cormac McCarthy's The Road is characterized in distinctly messianic terms, his father's many parallels with the prophet Moses have been overlooked. This article traces these correspondences from early in the novel and argues that they represent an externalized faith, one that develops in spite of the man's empiricist mindset. Breaking with previous commentary, the article then reads the 1:17 clock stoppage as referencing John 1:17 (rather than Revelation), which cements the story's central dynamic of an Old Testament symbol of Law superseded by a New Testament bringer of Grace and Truth—a Christian theological model referred to as dispensationalism. The tale from Genesis about Lot and his wife also informs the characterization of the family in the novel, particularly through the action of "looking back" due to compassion for those who do not survive the cataclysm. McCarthy builds upon theological speculations that appeared most prominently in the Border Trilogy, interrogating how humans rationalize misfortune and exploring how moral systems behave across real and fictional dispensations. While The Road addresses similar phenomena as these earlier works, it also offers hope and a more optimistic notion of the future through the son character. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Testament jest jednym z rodzajów akt notarialnych, wprowadzonych na ziemiach polskich w 1808 roku. Testamenty duchownych stanowią niewielki procent ogółu tego typu dokumentów. Ostatnia wola ks. Józefa de Sotro stanowi testament własnoręczny, spisywany osobiście przez testatora, rzadko spotykany wśród tej kategorii akt. Duchownego wyróżnia funkcja zwierzchnika dekanatu, pochodzenie francuskie, stan szlachecki oraz długi staż pracy (37 lat) w parafii Stolec, gdzie mieszkał z rodzicami i siostrą. Po śmierci J. de Sotro w 1828 roku odnaleziono jego starannie spisany w 1822 roku testament. Testator prosił w nim o modlitwy za duszę, podając szczegóły pogrzebu, na który, jak również dla ubogich, przeznaczył odpowiednie sumy. Opisał swój majątek składający się z ruchomości oraz wierzytelności. Polecił doposażyć inwentarz probostwa, podzielić sumę ze sprzedaży jego dóbr na trzy równe części: dla kościoła, krewnych (dla siostry i siostrzeńców Bęczkowskich) oraz dla egzekutorów, których wyznaczył łącznie czterech, w tym siostrzeńca-duchownego.

Artykuł przedstawia testament, który nieznany skądinąd szlachcic, Jan Aleksander Dąbski, podyktował w 1639 roku w Bodzentynie – małopolskim mieście biskupów krakowskich. Testamenty szlacheckie upowszechniły się znacznie później niż mieszczańskie i ludzi Kościoła. Pojawiają się w większej liczbie dopiero od lat 30. XVII wieku. Testator pochodził z relatywnie niezamożnej szlachty księstwa siewierskiego, będącego własnością biskupów krakowskich. Źródło sugeruje, że był sługą w biskupim zamku w Bodzentynie. Testament ten jest jednym z bardzo nielicznych przekazów przybliżających relacje na dworze biskupa krakowskiego w czasach wczesnonowożytnych. Źródło to zasługuje na uwagę przede wszystkim jednak ze względu na rozbudowany wstęp określający poglądy religijne autora. Znacznie wykraczają one poza katechizmowe rudymenty. Testator akcentuje grozę Majestatu Boskiego, ale jednocześnie też miłosierdzie Boga jako odpowiedź na ułomność ludzkiej natury. Wzywa Zbawiciela, aby przybył w otoczeniu aniołów i zwyciężył nieprzyjaciół. Głęboko wierzy, że zbawienia dostąpić można jedynie przez całkowite poświęcenie Krzyżowi, za wstawiennictwem Maryi oraz Anioła Stróża. Przynajmniej niektóre z tych prawd wiary w podobny sposób formułowane były w kazaniach głoszonych w pobliskim klasztorze benedyktyńskim Świętego Krzyża w XV stuleciu. Jest więc prawdopodobna taka właśnie średniowieczna inspiracja postaw religijnych formowanych kazaniami lub w czasie spowiedzi w Bodzentynie w XVII wieku.

Scientists often criticize there are not enough diachronical empirical investigations about sorts of texts. The analysis I did, is trying to close this gap. The choose was falling on the beginning of testaments when they wrote down. I’m geared at the dictum of linguists, that the history of language is at the same time the history of sort of texts. The corpus of my investigation includes material I found by my own. I also transliterated it. Already in further time I analyzed the linguistic structure of testaments of citizens in Krakow. These investigations were very successful. Therefore, I wanted to use the same method for testaments of citizens in Breslau. I started with the historical background and the registration of testamentery texts in the so called “Stadtbuch” (registry of town). I explained four levels of description. The same method I used for the investigation of the last will of the citizens of Breslau. In this present paper I give attention on text-linguistical aspects. But there is one difference between two levels: the axiological-ontological and the stylistic level – compared to the contemporary conception of a testament. My contribution can also understand as an invitation for forthcoming investigations of the diachronic of such sorts of texts. The benefit for the subject linguistic shouldn’t underestimate.

Abbasids - the second dominant dynasty in the history of Islam - from the beginning of the political struggle against Umayyads to the later periods of their political life, have always relied on sources to prove their political legitimacy. At the beginning, they were able to overthrow the Umayyads and gain the government by relying on the legitimacy of their relative connection with the Prophet (PBUH). Relying on the historical data collected in a library method, this research aims to show how the change in the political alignment of the opponents of Abbasids, caused them to establish and promote the validity of their government by changing the sources they rely on for political legitimacy. Their initial association with the theory of Shi'ite legitimacy and then taking an angle with it in dealing with the new enemies, shows that the Abbasids considered their ultimate goal - preserving power - superior to any other thought and motive. The findings of this research reveal that the change in the sources of legitimacy had a direct relationship with the political alignments of the Abbasid enemies until the end of Ma'mun's caliphate. As far as possible, the information about their political enemies can be obtained from the sources used by them to instill legitimacy.

Lorsqu’une personne vient à décéder, sa succession est ouverte au lieu où elle avait, lors de son décès, son domicile ou sa principale résidence . Au cas où le de cujus n’a pas laissé de testament, l’on se retrouve en face de la succession ab intestat ou légale car les modalités de gestion sont clairement définies par le Code de la famille. La succession ab intestat ou succession légale est celle dans laquelle la loi désigne, puisque le de cujus ne l’a pas fait, les personnes appelées à recueillir les biens du de cujus . L’établissement du testament revêt une importance capitale car cela réduit des risques des conflits post-mortem en ce sens que dans le testament on est libre de déterminer non seulement les modalités de gestions de ses biens après sa mort, mais aussi prendre toutes autres dispositions que l’on voudrait après son décès. Rien ne justifie que l’établissement d’un testament précipiterait sa mort. Nous recommandons l’établissement du testament pour pouvoir assurer la paix sociale au sein de sa famille après décès du testateur, lequel testament doit répondre aux exigences légales imposées en vue d’éviter tout empiétement sur la quotité disponible en dehors de ce qui revient aux héritiers réservataires car tout empiétement entraînerait la réduction de la quotité disponible.

While a plethora of scholars have explored a growing body of research on women’s involvement in Jihad, there is still a paucity of studies addressing it using the hybridity of transitivity analysis and critical discourse analysis. The present study examined a testament left by an Indonesian woman involved in what she fallaciously called ‘Jihad’. To collect the data, the document analysis was adopted, meanwhile, Halliday and Matthiessen’s transitivity analysis (2004) and Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis (2003) were employed to analyze the data. The findings demonstrated that the experience of the woman’s involvement in jihad was described by the dominant use of material process verbs (59.4%), followed by relational process (19%), mental process (13.5%), and verbal process (8.1%). The transitivity analysis showcases that the testament is not an average text with a religious message or instructions to deal with the left property; instead, it contains a message of the Salafi Jihadist ideology of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), which might put people’s lives in peril. The five core teachings of ISIS encapsulate the message of ideological teachings, including jihad (struggle in the context of religious war), takfiri (ex-communication), al-wala’ and al-barra’ (loyalty and disavowal for the sake of God), tauhid (unitary oneness of God), and tahkimiyah (the rule of God – both religiously and politically). The study findings implicate that we must raise awareness of all kinds of testaments left by the jihadi woman because these testaments may contain a global jihadist doctrine. With this in mind, we will not be easily persuaded to join a Salafi jihadist organization.

Miras bırakan ölümünden sonra mirasının kime kalacağına ilişkin tasarrufta bulunmayı isterse, bunu ölüme bağlı tasarruflar yapma yoluyla gerçekleştirebilmektedir. Hukuk düzenimiz, ölüme bağlı tasarrufların, vasiyetname ve miras sözleşmesi olarak iki şekilde yapılabileceğini kabul etmektedir. Ölüme bağlı tasarrufların hükümsüzlüğü; yokluk, kesin hükümsüzlük ve iptal edilebilirlik şeklinde görülebilmektedir. Yokluk ve kesin hükümsüz yaptırımları nadiren söz konusu olmaktayken; iptal edilebilirlik ölüme bağlı tasarruflarda sıkça karşımıza çıkan bir yaptırımdır. Ölüme bağlı tasarrufların iptal sebepleri kanunumuzda sınırlı olarak sayılmıştır. Bunlar, ehliyetsizlik, irade sakatlığı halleri, hukuka veya ahlaka aykırılık ve şekil kurallarına aykırılıktır. Özellikle irade sakatlığı halleri bakımından, ölüme bağlı tasarrufun vasiyetname şeklinde mi miras sözleşmesi şeklinde mi yapıldığı önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmamızda, söz konusu şekli ayrım çerçevesinde, ölüme bağlı tasarrufların iptal sebepleri açıklanacak, ardından açılacak iptal davasına ilişkin usul kuralları üzerinde durulacaktır.

A young official from Banat, Zsigmond Ormós (1813-1894), who, because of his participation in the revolution of 1848-49, had been banned from working in administrative structures, went into self-exile in 1857 in order to dedicate himself to his literary career. After coming into contact with the Italian art, then with the one developed in the German countries, he felt an attraction towards the study of such works, and decided to publish some travel notes and popular articles related to art to raise the taste of his compatriots. At first, rather out of a desire to invest his little inherited fortune, he began buying works of art from collectors and auctions from Italy. Studying assiduously and visiting the art monuments on the spot, meticulously noting what he had seen, he decided to put together a modest collection of art objects gathered according to his own skills or using the advice of his artist friends. Over time, as a self-taught, he became a good connoisseur of the history of art in our region. He wrote specialised articles and artist monographs, his work was appreciated by contemporary specialists; in 1861 he was admitted as a corresponding member of the Hungarian Academy. Increasing the number of purchased objects in the collection, he kept gathering the data regarding the artists from his native country and even from Banat. He carried out his research to find pieces signed by painters considered ”compatriots” (ex. Jan Kupeczky) and supported the careers of some young talents he met (Vidéky János, Vizkelety Béla, Kugler P. Ferenc, Nicolae Popescu). His remaining archive, his rich correspondence with politicians, artists and art specialists of the XIXth century, as well as the vast fund of autobiographical documents offer us the possibility to follow the life of the disciplined official who, convinced of his good preparation for the administrative work, returns to his safe career at the first opportunity. However, this fund also reflects his beginnings on the way from knowing, studying and purchasing, in a timid or conscious way, and classifying the works of art from the XVIIth-XIXth centuries, up to the publication of several specialised works in the field of painting and sculpture. His great gesture – to donate his collections to the public of his home town at the end of his life (some items even to the National Museum of his country) – places the commissar of Timiș county, collector Zsigmond Ormós, among the cultural founders of this institution. Given the testamentary donation of his collections – not only art but also books, historical objects, numismatic items, documents etc. – to the community of the town, he laid the solid foundations of the regional museum in Banat.

Mirasbırakanın ölüme bağlı tasarrufla mirasçılarına ya da ölüme bağlı tasarruftan yararlanacak kimselere bazı yüklemeler getirmesi mümkündür. Çalışmada mirasbırakanın bu şekilde öngörmüş olduğu yüklemelerin yerine getirilmesi talebinin ileri sürülebileceği süre ve bu talebin yükümlünün mirasçılarına karşı ileri sürülmesinin mümkün olup olmadığı, doktrindeki farklı görüşler ile İsviçre Federal Mahkemesi ve Yargıtay kararları ışığında ele alınmıştır. Netice itibariyle yüklemenin yerine getirilmesinin talep edilebilmesi için kanunî bir sınırın bulunmadığı, mirasçının veya vasiyet alacaklısının ömrü boyunca veya en azından vasiyet konusundan yararlandığı sürece yüklemeyi yerine getirmek zorunda olduğu ve yükümlünün mirasçılarının artmirasçı ya da art vasiyet alacaklısı olarak atanmadıkça yüklemeyi yerine getirmekle yükümlü olmadığı kanaatine varılmıştır.

W artykule przeanalizowano sporządzoną we Lwowie w 1551 r. ostatnią wolę Zygmunta prawnika, wójta Kulikowa, w której testator przyznał się do wieloletniego cudzołożenia. Poruszono temat funkcjonowania w społeczności miejskiej osoby prowadzącej tryb życia niezgodny z obowiązującymi normami i zasadami. Omówiono również praktykę stosowania we Lwowie prawa spadkowego oraz tego, jak władze miejskie zapatrywały się na skomplikowaną sytuację rodzinną testatora. Wskazano dobra materialne posiadane i legowane przez Zygmunta, podjęto przy tym próbę oszacowania ich wartości. Zwrócono również uwagę na rzadko spotykany w źródłach przydomek testatora i wykonywane przez niego zawody prawnicze. W Aneksie zamieszczono edycję omawianego źródła.

In the first half of the nineteenth century numerous ilnesses such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers and tumours or cardiac diseases caused death among Kalisz citizens. They were usually treated by local pysicians. Unfortunately, the ill person did not always make a recovery. Death was always a devastating tragedy for the family. More or less spectacular funerals were organised for the dead who were buried in Kalisz at denotative graveyards, where their burial place was commemorated with a tombstone. After completing all the mourning rituals, in the presence of the family members, the notary read out the last will of the deceased and made an inventory of all o the possessions and belongings of the deceased at properties' inventory. The assets and properties were shared by the heirs on the basis of that inventory. It was not uncommon that the testator donated a lot of money to either charity or religious institutions.
