Summary/Abstract: In this paper the author considers the idea of large land property as one of the main prerequisites for effective development of agriculture and the basis for its modernization. The purpose is to reveal the action mechanism of one of the obstacles to the consolidation of land ownership in Bulgaria during the period – the Inheritance Act of 1890, as well as the inability of the Bulgarian state to abolish it. The role of this law is peculiar because the conditions of inheritance created by it have permanent impact on the land ownership in the direction of its periodic fragmentation.
