!!!Anerbenrecht

Anerbenrecht (farm estate succession laws): term covering all of the 
legal regulations which guarantee the ability to transfer an undivided 
farm estate (hereditary farm) to one of several successors. These laws 
are set forth for the provinces of Burgenland, Lower Austria, Upper 
Austria, Salzburg, Styria and Vienna in the Bundes-Anerbengesetz 
(Federal Law on Farm Estate Succession) of 1958, for Tyrol in the 
Hoefegesetz (Law on Farms) of 1900 and for Carinthia in the 
Anerbengesetz (Law on Farm Estate Succession) of 1903. Austrian farm 
estate succession laws are optional, i.e. the testator may disregard 
the legal regulations. The 1989 amendment to these laws 
(Anerbenrecht-Gesetznovelle) further lowered the "minimum" for 
hereditary farms, as well as eliminating disadvantages for 
illegitimate children; in addition, a new type of hereditary farm was 
created which can be owned jointly by a parent and child.
