The author studies the legal status of a succession manager in Polish law. From the perspective of the origins and objectives of the institution of succession in Polish, he outlines the legal character of the civil-law representation of the inheritance owner by the succession manager, the characteristics of the succession manager as a civil law substitute compared to the powers of the holder of a commercial general power of attorney (prokurent) as a civil-law deputy of the entrepreneur and the consequent scope of power of attorney of the succession manager, the question of the liability of the succession manager for damage resulting from improper management and the waiver of the liability of the succession manager for the liabilities incurred on behalf of the owner of an enterprise in succession, as well as the conclusions from the deliberations (analysis). The author primarily uses the formal-dogmatic method for generally applicable law and all other available methods of legal interpretation.
