Ustawa jako tytuł powołania do spadku rodzeństwa spadkodawcy w razie braku jego zstępnych – czy jest to słuszne rozwiązanie?
The act as the title of appointing to inheritance the testator’s siblings in the absence of his descendants – is it the right solution?

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to consider the rightness of the statutory inheritance by the tes- tator’s siblings in the absence of his descendants. Taking a position on the above issue requires referring to the motives that determine the classification of individual members of the deceased’s family to the circle of statutory heirs. Undoubtedly, there is a close bond between siblings. However, the lack of impact of the death of a brother or sister on the financial situation of the siblings, as well as the lack of a direct or indirect contribution to the deceased’s achievement of a certain financial status, argue in favor of depriving title of appointing to inheritance the testator’s siblings in conjunction with his spouse. Only in the absence of a husband or wife of the testator, it would be rightness to appointing to inheritance the deceased’s siblings. Legal regulations in force in other countries may be considered an inspiration and, at the same time, a valuable tip when modifying the inheritance law in this respect.
