Cíle předmětu
The aim of this course is to provide general theoretical knowledge about Estate Planning (inter vivos) and also mortis causa, via different ownership structures (trust, trust-like forms, corporations, family offices etc.). Attention will also be paid to different ways of transferring wealth on death. A person can use a will but also a variety of other means (will substitutes) to benefit someone on death (incl. donations mortis causa, trust and trust-like forms, foundations, life insurance contracts etc.) The course covers not only the current legislation (on the European level and in chosen jurisdictions), but also its doctrinal substantiation. It will be based on common principles and reflect the latest trends in legal practice. The course will follow the guiding principle that “comparative law is not about teaching but doing”.
Výstupy z učení
At the end of the course, students should be able to: Compare the individual approaches, particularly with regards to the differences between normative systems (ius communae vs common law), with a special attention to selected jurisdictions. Assess the benefits and significance of individual forms of estate planning in the areas of corporate, foundation and trust law, with view to their common conceptual points of departure on one hand and the specificities arising from the individual legal systems on the other (according to existing law). Identify common problems and trends. Process selected topics on the basis of their study of professional literature and practical experience obtained during their study, and draw conclusions applicable in practice. Assess new findings and ideas with a view to the long-term social consequences of their use. Communicate, in a comprehensible and convincing manner, their own findings in the field to other members of the international scientific community, other legal professionals and general public. Acquire new professional knowledge, skills and capabilities through their own creative work and influence conditions for education of others. Think critically in broader dimensions and apply knowledge in new contexts.
