Legal aspects of making a special allographic testament by a blind person

Abstract

Blind persons can arrange their affairs in the event of death by a so-called special allographic testament. The basic conditions for its creation are established primarily by Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended. The aim of the article is to define the basic legal attributes related to the issue of making an allographic testament by a blind person from the perspective of the applicable legislation and related case law of the Czech courts, as well as to evaluate them in relation to their functioning in practice and their reflection in the legal certainty of blind persons.
