Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyse the issue of admissibility of making an oral will by means of distance communication. The provisions of the Book Four of the Civil Code expressis verbis do not allow for such a possibility, and this issue has not met with any significant interest in the doctrine. The author presents regulations concerning the oral will and interprets them. There are opposing views on the admissibility of making an oral will by means of distance communication. The article is ended with the author’s expressing his own position against the background of the presented arguments.
