论遗嘱变更与撤销制度的建构

On the Legal Institution for Will Change and Cancellation

为了保障遗嘱自由原则的实现,继承法不仅确认公民有订立遗嘱的自由,还有随时变更与撤销遗嘱的权利。但由于遗嘱是单方、要式的法律行为,并具有死后执行的特点,为了保证遗嘱能真实地反映遗嘱人的意愿,为了保障遗嘱人及遗嘱指定受益人的财产利益,法律有必要对遗嘱的变更与撤销制度进行合理的建构。

In order to help realize the principle of inheritance freedom,Inheritance Law stipulates that citizen has the right to establish will and the right to change or cancel the will.However,as will is unilateral and is to be executed only after death,it is necessary to set up a legal institution for will change and will cancellation.
