Abstract

The author examines the issues that arise when notaries establish a citizen’s right to an obligatory share in the inheritance in accordance with Article 1149 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic is confirmed by the fact that every year the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation considers appeals from citizens challenging the constitutionality of this norm. The article analyzes the criteria for recognizing a person as disabled as a basis for granting the right to an obligatory share in the inheritance. The issues of the legitimacy of documents confirming the heir’s incapacity for work and issued by the competent authorities of foreign states are raised.
