Comparative law notes

Germany

The term "succession" is typically used only the context of inheritance. The German concept of Rechtsnachfolge, which includes both singular and universal "succession", also applies to a "succession" (transfer of property) following the liquidation or sale of business entities and is therefore broader than the English term "succession".
