»The Compulsory Portion as a Disruptive Factor in Corporate Succession«: The work analyses the effects of the compulsory portion on company succession. Part I examines the functions of the compulsory portion and answers the question of whether it can be restricted within the framework of company succession. Part II outlines company succession and examines the effects of certain clauses on compulsory portion claims. Subsequently are outlined the reasons why the compulsory portion is regarded as a disruptive factor in corporate succession. The current legal situation does not offer any special protection of the existence of companies, which is why there is a need for reform.
