This third edition is aimed to serve as a reference work not only for law students (from the start of law school up to final exams) but also legal trainees as well as legal practitioners. It presents the fundamentals as well as specialized topics of the law of succession. Legislation enacted since the previous edition was taken into consideration according to its educational relevance. Based on its connection to the ongoing and heated debate on euthanasia, the topic of "patient testaments" was thoroughly revised. The planned legal amendments, which will especially affect the law pertaining to compulsory portion, were also taken into consideration. A new chapter presents the issues surrounding a person's ability to inherit, whose birth is a result of artificial insemination.

Now in its fourth edition, the Wieczorek/Schutze legal commentary is a virtual institution in the field of civil procedure. This fourteen-volume guide once again sets the standard for legal reference works. Based on solid legal scholarship, it comprehensively considers practical requirements and needs in relation to civil procedure. The authorial team, which is composed of 33 legal scholars and practitioners - including several new younger members - ensures that the commentary remains true to its rich traditions, but at the same time is up-to-date for current and future needs. In addition to German civil procedure, the commentary addresses relevant supplementary laws in Germany (e.g. EGZPO, GVG, KapMuG, and MediationsG), as well as European and international civil procedure. The commentary also takes into consideration relevant legal changes as well as the newest developments in case law and legal teaching. Here you find an overview of all fourteen volumes. Take a closer look at the extract of volume 12 1067-1109; Internationales Zivilprozessrecht; Rechtsquellen und Materialien.

Already in its 4th edition, this textbook presents the fundamentals as well as specific topics in inheritance law. The new edition considers recent amendments to inheritance law, including the 2010 reform of the inheritance right to a compulsory portion (Pflichtteilsrecht) as well as the German law on living wills.

The law of succession enjoys a growing practical meaning. The work contains a description of the main elements as well as the focal point of the law of succession. Reforms in relation to the first edition are mainly brought about by numerous court decisions. Newly incorporated was particularly the subject "patient wills", which at the time was widely discussed in connection with euthanasia. The main feature is divided by visual emphasis from the detailed passages, which are directed at elective candidates. Every chapter closes with a summary. Additionally, the most important information is summarized in numerous overviews. For a better understanding of the subject matter dealt with, many examples of topics are found within the text. The combination of these pedagogical features comprises the specific benefit of this work.
