Rule against perpetuities, succession law, contingent interestsAbstract
This article examines the rule against perpetuities (RAP)— a legal mechanism that prevents property interests from remaining unresolved indefinitely, and justifies the need to include an adapted version of it in the civil legislation of Uzbekistan. The argument is based on the final report of the Nova Scotia Law Reform Commission for 2010 on the rule prohibiting indefinite inheritance, comparative models from Russia, Germany and Kazakhstan, as well as an analysis of the decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of Uzbekistan on inheritance issues. Taken together, these sources reveal a significant gap: currently, there is no mechanism in Uzbekistan that sets a time frame for conditional property rights, and this gap creates systemic legal uncertainty in the field of law, which is becoming increasingly important in practice. The article proposes a hybrid model combining an indefinite term established by law with judicial powers to change procedures in difficult cases, as a reform option that best suits the traditions of Uzbek civil law and the current institutional potential.
