遗嘱自由的限制之法理分析

Restriction of Will Freedom

遗嘱是公民生前按照法律规定的方式对自己的财产做出处分并在其死亡时发生效力的一种法律行为。无论古今中外,各国都不同程度上确立了遗嘱自由,并使遗嘱继承成为现代社会普遍接受的继承方式。基于私法的伦理性因素和私有财产的功能,需要对遗嘱自由进行必要的限制。

The will is one kind of legal act by which the citizen disposes of property before his death under the law and the will becomes effective when the citizen dies. Regardless of the ancient and modern, all countries, to a greater or lesser degree, established the will freedom principle and caused the will inheritance to be accepted by the modern society generally. Besides, we need restrict will freedom for the ethics of civil law and the role of private property.
