PROCLAIMING A MISSING PERSON\u27S DEATH UNDER THE LAW OF THE FEDERATION OF BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, WITH REFERENCE TO THE CROATIAN LAW DE LEGE LATA AND DE LEGE FERENDA

Abstract

Zakon o vanparničnom postupku Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine svakako je zakon koji u pravnoj praksi koristi najširi krug korisnika i propis je kojim se na prostoru Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine cjelovito utvrđuju pravila po kojima sudovi postupaju i odlučuju o osobnim, obiteljskim, imovinskim i drugim pravima i pravnim interesima, koji se po zakonu rješavaju u izvanparničnom postupku, pa i o proglašenju nestalih osoba umrlim. Postupci proglašenja nestalih osoba umrlim pokreću se, između ostalog, i zbog potrebe da se urede razni pravni odnosi povodom smrti neke osobe u kojima je ta osoba za života bila sudionik, čime se vrši i usklađivanje pravnog s faktičkim stanjem. Proglašenje nestale osobe umrlom ima za ona prava u kojima je od značaja činjenica smrti iste one posljedice kao i stvarna (faktička) smrt neke osobe. U radu je autor ukazao na cilj, materijalno-pravne uvjete i tijek postupka proglašenja nestale osobe umrlom u bosansko-hercegovačkom pravu, te je na odgovarajućim mjestima dao i usporedbu s rješenjima u hrvatskom pravu de lege lata i de lege ferenda.The Law on Non-contentious Proceedings of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is certainly the law that is used by the widest range of users in legal practice and regulation which the most comprehensively defines the rules by whom the courts in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina proceed and make decisions on personal, family, property and other rights and legal interests as well as in procedures for proclaiming the missing person\u27s death.
