The article discusses the teachings of the eminent jurist of the late XIX – early XX century in relation to property succession. The analysis of the works of E. V. Vaskovsky allows to conclude that the scientist is repelled by the idea of transferrable rights, emphasizing, however, sufficient conditionality of the possibility of its transmission, the transition from one owner to another. Important and actual for modern development of the doctrine of succession are abstracts of E. V. Vaskovsky about the value of the derivative methods of acquisition of ownership, the possibility of acquiring the legal successor of the law, which did not belong to the legal successors, referring partition of property owners to the cases of succession.
