Explanation:
Since the abolition of feudalism in Switzerland early in the 19th century and the transition to a new democratic governance including a liberal system of property with widely spread private land ownership, a variety of inheritance
regulations and succession rules have been applied in different regions of the country. Land property was traditionally not divided among the heirs, but was passed on to the oldest (or youngest) male successor, in order to keep
the family farm together. But there have been exceptions in some communities, where the estates were split and
distributed by way of inheritance to a selection of heirs (e.g. all children, male children…). These differences had a
formative effect on the development of landownership, economy and society, which are partly still visible today
(example: small-scale parcelling in the canton Wallis).
With the instauration of the civil code in Switzerland 1912 the property and inheritance rules were nationalised.
Over the past 100 years the Swiss inheritance law has undergone a number of changes (concerning inheritance of
farmland in particular), but the general principles have remained the same.
1.2 Who is entitled to inherit?
The civil code differs between legal heirs and heirs designated by the decedent via testament or contract of inheritance. Legal heirs are relatives, surviving spouses or registered partners and, if none of the former legal heirs are
present – the community. If the decedent decides to favour some of the legal heirs or a third party, he can do so
only in the limits of his “free quota”, because the legitimate portions of the legal heirs (children, spouse, partner
and parents, but not siblings and grandparents) are protected.
1.3 What shares of the legacy will the heirs get?
After the death of a decedent his heirs form by law a
community of heirs. But any heir can at any time demand the dissolution of the community and in consequence the distribution of the estate the decedent left
behind.
The legal heirs will inherit according to their defined
quota and their hierarchic position in the parental order (Stammesordnung). For example: When a decedent dies without testament or contract of inheritance,
his legacy is distributed, depending on what heirs he
or she leaves behind, as follows:
1. Descendants (1/2 in equal parts) and spouse (1/2)
2. Spouse (3/4) and parents (1/4)
3. Spouse (3/4) and siblings (1/4 in equal parts)
4. Parents (1/1)
5. Descendants (1/1 in equal parts)
The legitimate portions of the legal heirs are the following:
1. Descendants (3/8 in equal parts) and spouse (1/4)
2. Spouse (3/8) and parents (1/8)
3. Spouse (3/8) and siblings (0)
4. Parents (1/2)
5. Descendants (3/4 in equal parts)
