Results: In this work it was prooved that both Polish and German modern law regarding partial property disposition in case of death have their origin in Roman law institution.
Conclusions: Although not all of those institution survived till today. In modern less formalised legal systems it is justified that the object of regulation is a general institution of bequeathment, without the division into strictly formal legatum and informal fideicommissum.
