《继承法》修正:体系建构与制度选择

Revision of the Law of Succession:Systematic Construction and Institutional Choice

我国现行《继承法》修正,既是民众继承观念变化的要求,也是继承法制科学发展的要求。《继承法》修正,以相关民事制度的完善为基础,以继承机制的和谐统一为归宿,以民众继承愿望的满足为宗旨。继承制度的体系建构,应采总则、遗嘱、法定继承、遗产的处理、附则五章编制;继承制度的立法选择,应关注遗嘱制度、法定继承制度、遗产处理制度的修正与完善,进而实现继承领域的意思自治、权利保障与利益协调。

The revision of the current law of succession reflects the requirements of both the evolu- tion of ordinary people＇s inheritance perception and the scientific development of inheritance legal system. The revision of the law of succession is based on the perfectness of the relevant civil sys- tems, whose destination is the harmony and unity of the inheritance mechanism, and whose purpose is to satisfy the public inheritance expectations. In the systematic construction of the inheritance sys- tem, we should adopt the formation of five chapters, including the general principles, testament, statu- tory succession, the disposition of the estate and the supplementary principles; in the legislative choice of the inheritance system, we should focus on the revision and perfectness of such systems as the testament system, the statutory succession system, the estate disposition system, and then achieve autonomy of will, protection of rights and coordination of interests throughout the succession field.
