Abstract

The article concerns the issue of liability for debts under the succession borne by joint heirs and changes in the nature of their liability depending on the circumstances which are affected by the lapse of time and acts performed by joint heirs themselves. An important issue arousing doubts of the authors and inspiring him to write the article was the problem of possibly different understanding of regulations concerning the method of calculating the amount up to which heirs are liable for estate debts depending on how the content of Art. 1034 § 2 of the Civil Code is construed.
