Summary of the article
Person entitled to indemnification in life assurance (Beneficiary)
The article is a complex and detailed description of legal regulations concerning person
entitled to indemnification in life assurance. The author defines party entitled to indemnifica-

ͣsupplementary beneficiary͟, ͣmain

in the text.

account. Character and scope of this right was described in details. Another issue which
is raised in the article is a problem appearing in a situation when several people entitled
to indemnification are about to be indicated.
The author discusses also the relation between law of succession and entitlement to in-
demnity resulting from death of the policyholder. Special attention was paid to the problem
connected with a lack of beneficiary. There are two situations which are treated separately,
the situation when beneficiary dies before death of a policyholder and the situation when
a beneficiary deliberately contributes to death of a policyholder.
Another problem mentioned in the text is the right of family of the policyholder to receive
indemnification if there is no beneficiary at the moment of polic

Separate part of the text is devoted to legal regulations concerning a bearer contract
in which right to benefit results from the death of a policyholder.
Current legal regulations concerning a person entitled to indemnification contains some
substantial shortcomings which can be eliminated by proper amendments made according
to the suggestions of the author. Summary of the article includes some de lege ferenda
demands for changes that are needed.
