Rejection of the inheritance does not transfer the right to a reserved share to the child.

Warning: This is an automated translation from Polish. Accuracy may vary.

The Supreme Court has established that in the event of testamentary inheritance, only specific persons – specific statutory heirs – are entitled to the reserved portion. They cannot „transfer” the reserved portion to their children by making a declaration of rejection. This could, in certain cases, give rise to unjustified privilege of these children over the will. It is known that minors may demand a reserved share of 2/3 of their inheritance share, while their adult parent only 1/2 of the inheritance share.
