The Intersectoral Unification Problems of the Institute Recognising the Heir Unworthy

The Institution of recognition the heir unworthy as a set of legal norms regulates public relations that ensure the lawful inheritance order from the antecessor to the lawful heirs. Despite the fact that the institution in question is a sub-branch of civil law, its legislative content, as well as the variety of borderline legal situations, indicates the signs of an intersectoral nature. In this regard, it is advisable to study the institution of recognition the heir unworthy, since it is characterised by a more complex mechanism of implementation and manifestation specificity. The purpose of the research is to analyse the intersectoral problems of the institution of recognition the heir unworthy. The main methods used in this article: analysis, comparison, general scientific research methods (dialectical, logical), as well as special methods (legal-technical and formal-legal). Based on the results of the research, it is proposed: to correct the content of Article 1117 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, taking into account the provisions of Russian criminal law; to expand the range of socially dangerous acts for which the heir may be considered unworthy. It is argued that the decision obtained in the course of administrative proceedings is also the basis to remove a person from inheritance.
