Abstract

The agreement for lifetime support is a specific agreement in the legal system of the Republic of Macedonia. With this agreement, in the Macedonian applicable law, we have the commitment of the support provider for a lifelong support of the support recipient or a third person, while the recipient of the support leaves all of his property or a part of his property in compensation, whose handover of the covered property is postponed until his death. In this paper we perform an analysis and study of the agreement for lifetime support in the positive law applied in the Republic of Macedonia, and we will perceive that this agreement is a matter of interest of the obligation law and inheritance law. It is an agreement with obligation - legal and inheritance - legal elements. Namely, the purpose of this paper is to perform a scientific analysis of this agreement pursuant to the Macedonian legislation, and thus to perceive the double meaning that this agreement has, or inheritance - legal and obligation - legal meaning.
