On November 15, 2023, an amendment to the inheritance law came into force.

.The amending law provides for a number of changes, including:

1. no need to obtain the guardianship court’s consent for a minor’s rejection of an inheritance if he or she is called to inherit as a result of a parent’s previous rejection of an inheritance; however, the consent of the other parent or joint action by both parents is required;

2. expanding the catalog of possibilities for declaring an heir unworthy (persistent evasion of maintenance obligations towards the testator and persistent evasion of custody of the testator),

3. changing the circle of statutory heirs in the last group of the inheritance, excluding from the inheritance the further descendants of the testator’s grandparents, i.e. the so-called aunt’s or uncle’s grandchildren and further generations.

The coming changes, particularly in the area of family law, are intended primarily to reduce the length of court proceedings. The narrowed catalog of statutory heirs, in turn, is expected to reduce the need for the court to search for them ex officio and summon them to a hearing, thereby also streamlining the issuance of succession determinations.

On July 1, amendments to the Code of Civil Procedure went into effect.

The first sweeping change provided for by the amendment is a change regarding the value of the subject matter of the dispute in cases decided by district courts.

Prior to the amendment, Article 17 indicated, among other things, that the jurisdiction of district courts included cases: for property rights, where the value of the subject of the dispute exceeds seventy-five thousand zlotys, with the exception of cases for alimony, for violation of possession, for the establishment of property separation between spouses, for reconciliation of the content of the land and mortgage register with the actual legal status, and cases heard in electronic writ of payment proceedings.

As of July 1:

– the jurisdiction of district courts includes cases of property rights whose value exceeds one hundred thousand zlotys,

– additionally, cases for reconciliation of the content of the land and mortgage register with the actual legal state – which will thus go to the district court – have been removed from the exclusions.
