Abstract
This author aims to demonstrate that in addition to the legal measures provided for in Article 24 of the Polish Civil Code, protection of personal rights may also indirectly serve the institutions mentioned in Book IV of the Civil Code, one of which is the law of succession. These institutions are primarily disinheritance (Article 1008 of the Civil Code) and unworthiness of inheritance (Article 928 of the Civil Code), as well as the exclusion of a spouse from inheritance (Article 940 of the Civil Code). They serve to protect, above all, such personal rights as life and health, honour and freedom, in particular the freedom to make a will. Violation of these personal rights will be met with specific pecuniary sanctions, among them, deprivation of the right to inheritance, to the reserved share of the estate, to bequests, or to the statutory superannuation as provided for in Article 939 of the Civil Code.
