TRENDS IN THE PARTICIPATION OF LEGAL ENTITIES IN INHERITANCE LEGAL RELA TIONS IN MODERN REALITIES

The relevance of the research topic lies in the fact that the war in Ukraine has significantly affected inheritance relations, giving rise to new problems — mass mortality, loss of documents, complicated access to notary offices and an increase in court disputes — and has also raised the importance of quasi-testamentary mechanisms for military personnel. At the same time, the lack of modern comprehensive studies of inheritance law in wartime necessitates scientific analysis of these processes and improvement of legal regulation. The purpose of this article is to identify trends in the dynamics of inheritance legal relations in terms of socio-demographic factors, the development of legislation and doctrine of inheritance law, and the practice of its application. The study uses dialectical, historical-legal, comparative-legal, systemic-structural, formal-legal, sociological, and prognostic methods, which ensured a comprehensive analysis of inheritance legal relations in modern conditions. The main problems of inheritance legal relations in the modern realities of prolonged war and the factors influencing the dynamics of inheritance legal relations in the social environment are considered and analysed. The author looks at inheritance legal relations from the perspective of their internal characteristics and the refraction of their main components – the subject, object and content – to the specifics of inheritance, identifying the special features and patterns of inheritance legal relations. The main social, demographic and legal problems under which inheritance legal relations arise and cease are identified. The important emphasis on the general economic climate in which inheritance legal relations function is pointed out. It is emphasised that civil turnover in Ukraine functioned on market principles until 2022 and continues to operate in the same format during the war, and that state intervention and participation in property turnover, even in wartime, has hardly changed, at least not to the maximum extent. The article highlights the socio-demographic, economic and technical-legal factors that influence inheritance legal relations, the challenges they pose, and the results of such influence.
