ABSTRACT<\/strong>
\n<\/span>In this article we aimed to present the idea of bequeathing in the old Serbian law. Serbs, just as the other Slavic tribes, had a particular way of life,\u00a0 and\u00a0 customs\u00a0 that\u00a0 included\u00a0 the\u00a0 phenomenon\u00a0 of\u00a0 zadruga,\u00a0 extended family which was formed by several families who shared property. In that reality, it was not possible to divide estate, nor to dispose it individually. Therefore, writing a will or establishing some likewise division by the words of last will orally, probably was something that was not done, or at least was limited only to chattel. However, researching on the oldest mentions of Serbs, one can notice that its medieval rulers, and sometimes noblemen, had the right to determine\u00a0 their\u00a0 successors\u00a0 and\u00a0 to\u00a0 bequeath\u00a0 to\u00a0 them\u00a0 a\u00a0 certain\u00a0 part\u00a0 of their estate. That was usually done by a father \u2013 a king, to his sons. That is the model that is present in the history of early medieval era in various Slavic tribes. On\u00a0 the\u00a0 other\u00a0 side,\u00a0 will\u00a0 as\u00a0 a\u00a0 private\u00a0 legal\u00a0 deed\u00a0 is\u00a0 for\u00a0 the\u00a0 first\u00a0 time mentioned in the legal code of XIII century, Zakonopravilo of Saint Sabba, following the Byzantine legal provisions. Wills must have been used if\u00a0 not\u00a0 earlier\u00a0 than\u00a0 the\u00a0 XIII\u00a0 century,\u00a0 then\u00a0 certainly\u00a0 in\u00a0 this\u00a0 time,\u00a0 around the second decade of the XIII century. Nevertheless, nature of the Serbian Medieval wills (or the other acts of bequeathing, such as gifts ad pias causas) might be a subject of deeper analysis where they could be compared to the other medieval Slavic wills, originated from the scope of medieval Croatia, Russia, Great Moravia, Bohemia, and Poland. We tried to list the oldest known Serbian wills and make some remarks in relation to their common characteristics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
