    • نبذة مختصرة :
      Intestacy law is derived from the traditional values, but it can be also under the influences of societies across the world. As a field of private law, the law of intestate succession can, in the long run, resist the non-voluntary, i.e., imposed reception of such rules of and forced by a coloniser. Compared to the flexible regulations, e.g., of the law of obligations, which are therefore more capable of legal transplant, intestate succession is based on deeply enrooted customs of a nation. Thus, these rules can rigidly persist under the pressure of colonisation. Kenya and Australia, two countries with significant differences in their cultural and legal traditions, were, in a diverse way, colonised by England. The article analyses the intestacy laws in these three countries, with the emphasis on Kenya. It especially discusses the reasons for pushing for strong intestacy laws to protect the widow in Kenyan Laws compared with the Australian and English Laws. ; Pravila zakonskog (intestatnog) nasljeđivanja proizlaze iz tradicionalnih vrijednosti određenog društva, ali se mogu naći i pod utjecajem stranih prava. Općenito, kao dio privatnog prava, pravila zakonskog nasljeđivanja su pritom onaj dio koji dugoročno može u većoj mjeri odoljeti vanjskim nametanjima, odnosno prisilnoj recepciji pravila nametnutih od strane kolonizatora. Naime, u usporedbi s dispozitivnom prirodom pravila obveznog prava, koja su podložnija stranim utjecajima i prihvaćanju pravnih transplantata, pravila zakonskog nasljeđivanja duboko su ukorijenjena u narodnu tradiciju te se mogu snažnije i u neizmijenjenu obliku održati i pod pritiscima kolonizatora. U radu se obrađuju dva primjera uređenja zakonskog nasljeđivanja, u Keniji i Australiji, objema državama koloniziranima od strane Velike Britanije, između kojih postoje velike razlike glede kulturnih i pravnih tradicija. Također, kao referentni sustav, prikazuje se zakonsko nasljedno pravo i u Engleskoj. Poseban se naglasak u radu stavlja na rješenja prisutna u kenijskom pravu, pri čemu autor ...
