On the convocation of creditors and the agreement of heirs on the settlement of inheritance (on the article on selected issues of liability of heirs for the testator’s debts). The author in the article refers to the article from the pen of prof. Števček, doc. Dufalová and doc. Križan on selected issues of liability of heirs for the testator’s debts. In it, he presents an alternative view on two specific issues. The first is the question of the effects of the so-called facultative convocation of creditors. Unlike the authors mentioned above, the author considers that a creditor who fails to notify the inheritance court of his claim in the context of such a convocation cannot object that the heir did not comply with Article 471(2) of the Civil Code, which governs the procedure for the payment of debts in the case of an overindebted inheritance. The second issue addressed in the article is whether the inheritance court may also approve an agreement between the heirs on the settlement of the inheritance under which one heir acquires all the assets and the other assumes all the debts. Contrary to the authors mentioned above, he is of the opinion that the court may approve such an agreement.

Key words: liability for the testator‘s debts, convocation of creditors, agreement on the settlement of inheritance
