A draft amendment to inheritance law has been submitted to the Ministry of Justice as proposed by Fundacja Centrum Naukowe Notariatu [Notaryship Academic Centre Fund], which is patronized by the National Council of Notaries. Pursuant to the new law, it will be possible to acquire property specified in a donation agreement at the moment of the donor’s death. Prior to the donor’s death, however, he or she will retain full control over the property.

If a donation proves detrimental to the donor’s heirs, they will be able to claim a legitim from the receiver of the donation.
