Legal and Historical Prerequisites for the Transfer (Inheritance) of the Deceased Person Property to Public Legal Entities

Keywords: public legal entities, limited legal capacity, inheritance, property of the deceased, recognition of inheritance as fictitious

Abstract

The article studies the peculiarities of participation in civil relations of such public legal entities as the state and the territorial community. It is established that according to part 2 of Article 2 of the Civil Code of Ukraine, along with legal persons of public law, they are assigned to subjects of public law. Full determination of the status of public entities in private law remains problematic. This is due to the dual status of these entities: as participants in public and private relations. It is stated that despite the fact that the State and territorial communities are primarily subjects of public law, they take part in civil relations, taking into account the signs of these relations defined in the Civil Code of Ukraine. The classification of public legal entities as special entities leads to their participation in civil relations through state authorities and other entities that are legal persons; representation of their interests by physical persons is not excluded. It is confirmed that the civil legal capability and legal capacity of public legal entities is reduced to the legal capacity of bodies acting in their interests. The acquisition of legal personality by public legal entities is carried out mainly in accordance with the norms of constitutional and administrative law. It is determined that the civil legal capacity of public legal entities is limited in scope. On the basis of the analysis of acts of legislation on inheritance of the Soviet and modern period, it is established that the current legislation provides for the maximum removal of public legal entities from the field of private law. This is manifested in hereditary relationships. Public law entities may acquire ownership of the property of the deceased if: 1) a will is drawn up in their favor; 2) if the property was not inherited by the heirs and by decision of the court is recognized as fictitious and becomes the property of the territorial community. It is confirmed that under Ukrainian law the transfer of fictitious property to communal property is not recognized as inheritance. Separately, it should be noted that before the entry into force of the Civil Code of Ukraine of 2003, fictitious property in Ukraine was inherited by the state, now by territorial communities.
