A Study of the Effect of the Intention of Heirs on Rules Governing Inheritance

It must be said that jurists and lawyers generally believe that intention has no effect on rules governing inheritance and these rules are unchangeable because they consider them as mandatory norm. Subsequently, whenever devisor or heir applies his/her intention on these rules, it has been rejected. Heirs would be able to change some of these rules in different ways, for example, by renunciation or transmission of share of inheritance. Actually in many cases these actions are compatible with legal maxims, thus it is unacceptable to revoke these actions based on stereotyped phrases. At first it’s necessary to recognize different forms that heir would be able to apply his/her intention on these rules and secondly ascertain special legal natures of them. After the investigation of lawyers and jurists' point of view we endeavor to validate such actions according to their legal natures in order to prevent the violation of the person rights.
