Common Law Marriage in the Light of Possibilities of Legal Inheritance

Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with the institution of the common law marriage. The author gives an overview of the position of the common law marriage in Family Law and compares it with the status of the common law marriage in the Inheritance law. The author speaks of the justification of introducing into the legal succession order of a spousal partner. Many extra-marital partners do not think about their rights because they perceive an extramarital community as a provisional way toward establishing a marriage. The paper presents the features of the extramarital community, the regulation of the out-of-wedlock community in comparative law and the reasons for changing and supplementing the legitimate position of the extra-marital partner.
