The continuous (recent) production of legislative and bibliographic work regarding inheritance law regulations makes it necessary to update the present work.

Specifically, Law 4182/10.9.2013 "Code of Charitable Properties, Unclaimed Inheritances and Other Provisions" with articles 82 VIII a and 82 VII e, respectively, not only abolishes and replaces the outdated act 2039/1939, but with an emphasis on protecting the public interest, attempts interventions in substantive law, particularly in inheritance law, by abolishing provisions of the Civil Code (articles 1865, 1866 para. 2, 1869), and including new regulations regarding unclaimed inheritances.

At the same time, the aforementioned law directly intervenes in testamentary law, resulting in a substantial change. With Law 4223/31.12.2013 "Unified Property Tax" (article 32 II), article 3 II of Law 4182/2013 was also rephrased, which includes provisions of a supplementary nature arising from provisions of the Civil Code and the Introductory Civil Code (article 118 para. a) and concerns the impossibility of the State to renounce the burdensome inheritance it has inherited intestate and the acceptance by law with the benefit of inventory.

This edition also includes a detailed index of articles of the Civil Code and a lemma index.
