Abstract
In the present article, the author considers various doctrinal judgments on the question of what constitutes inheritance law and what place it occupies in the legal system. The purpose of the research is to determine the structural divisions of the sub-branch of inheritance law and substantiate the view on the recognition of inheritance law as a sub-branch of civil law with the designation of its inherent institutions and subinstitutions. Results. Based on the results of the study, the author came to the conclusion that inheritance law, taking into account the content of the legal norms forming it, can only be recognized as a sub-branch of civil law. There are no sufficient grounds to consider inheritance law as an institution of civil law or as an independent legal branch as a structural unit of the legal system. Due to the subject of legal regulation, inheritance law is separated from other sub-sectors in the civil law system. Taking into account the specifics of the subject and method of legal regulation, the sub-branch "inheritance law" is subject to further differentiation into its constituent institutions and sub-institutes. It is concluded that it is necessary to distinguish five main institutions within the studied sub-sector, the central place among which belongs to the institute of inheritance law. The legal norms of this institution are currently dispersed in separate chapters of section V of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and cover the specifics of regulating both hereditary and some related legal relations. It is this diversity to be included in the Institute of law of inheritance relations allows to conclude on the need for it subinstitute three: hereditary sub instructions, sub succession and sub the exercise of the right of inheritance.
