The article deals with the problem of limitation of liability for bequests in Roman law in the period of the Republic. The laws were discussed, on the basis of which the Roman legislator in the time of the Republic, tried to create a real incentive to accept an inheritance, even if overburdened with bequests. The lex Furia testamentaria, lex Voconia, and lex Falcidia were presented in detail, the aim of which was to enable heirs to retain minimum proportion of the estate. In addition, as part of favor testamenti, as well as showing respect for the testator’s last will, they attempted to prevent the invocation on the basis of the provisions of the Act, where the valid will existed.
