Federal Act on the Equalization of the Status of Children Born Outside of Marriage with Respect to Inheritance Law and the Safeguarding of the Marital Home for the Surviving Spouse (Inheritance Law Amendment Act 1989), 13 December 1989

Annu Rev Popul Law. 1989:16:72.

Abstract

PIP: Among other things, this Act removes the last major Austrian legal provisions discriminating against children born out of marriage by repealing sections of the Inheritance Law making distinctions between such children and children born within marriage. The Act also increases the power of a surviving spouse to live in the marital home even if the home has not been inherited by that spouse.
