Sažetak
The movement of people around the world generates numerous issues one of which are inheritance practices and mobility of property. The main agenda of this paper is to problematize how migration affects and modulate notions of inheritance, and transfer of the property. Property is manly shaped by systems of inheritance which can be either impartible or partible. In an impartible system, also called primogeniture, one child inherits the family’s patrimony. In a partible system, where males have equal rights of inheritance, all offsprings are entitled to some share of the family patrimony. Regardless of the system of the inheritance that was dominant, the system itself is affected with the migration processes. This paper addresses issues related to the questions: How these processes were applied in the particular family arrangements and which strategies did/do the families put in motion when dealing with migration? How a migration changes the role of the women, or other members of the family, in the context of inheritance, within patriarchal areas? To what extent migrants adapt to their new surroundings in terms of land transfers? How migrations affect postponing inheritance?
