The law of succession enjoys a growing practical meaning. The work contains a description of the main elements as well as the focal point of the law of succession. Reforms in relation to the first edition are mainly brought about by numerous court decisions. Newly incorporated was particularly the subject "patient wills", which at the time was widely discussed in connection with euthanasia. The main feature is divided by visual emphasis from the detailed passages, which are directed at elective candidates. Every chapter closes with a summary. Additionally, the most important information is summarized in numerous overviews. For a better understanding of the subject matter dealt with, many examples of topics are found within the text. The combination of these pedagogical features comprises the specific benefit of this work.
