Description Inheritance begins with the birth of ownership, and continues with property rights. Inheritance is an ancient tradition, which the Romans recognized in the Twelve Tables (303 BC), in their priority of testamentary rights. Such principles have their origin in a primitive community, although, at that time, there were no genuine inheritance rights. Inheritance is the practice of passing on property, titles, debts, rights, and obligations upon the death of an individual, named the deceased (the person who dies), to the heir, who is the person entitled to receive a share of the deceased's property. This is an action of mortis causa, which happens due to the death of the deceased. The study of inheritance creates interest, because it relates to the law from the time of the deceased’s death, despite the advent of any disagreement. Inheritance by law is applied in cases when the person leaving the inheritance has not made a will, or has made a will only for a part of their property, or when the will is declared invalid. The inheritance initiates, when the deceased dies by natural death or civil death. It initiates in the place where the deceased had their last residence. The major economic and political change that occurred in Albania after the fall of the communist dictatorship, was on 1 November 1994, with the enactment of the Civil Code for the Republic of Albania. The third section and articles 316-418 of this code deal with inheritance. The French Civil Code was published on 21 March 1804. In this, the third book covers different modes of acquiring property, and under the title of “Successions” deals with inheritance, from article 718 onwards. The French and Albanian inheritance traditions share similarities and disparities. In this paper, we discuss and compare these two inheritance instruments.
