Based on art. 143.147 of the Polish Code of Civil Procedure for the part of the civil proceedings that is unknown from the place of stay appointed is a curator that commonly is called .procedural.. In turn the provision of art. 184 § 1 of the Family and Guardianship Code provides that a curator is appointed for a person who due to being absent Carnot run his matters and has no representative. The same applies to the case when an absentee’s representative is unable to perform his actions or performs them inadequately. Such curator, called curator absentis, above all should try to determine the whereabouts of the absent person and inform him on the state of his affairs (art. 184 § 1 of the Family and Guardianship Code). The issue of the admissibility of appointing both of this curators for an heir unknown from the place of stay for the purpose of making a statement on his behalf accepting or rejecting of the inheritance was discussed in this paper. This issue, though relevant for civil law transactions, seems to have not been so far the subject of interest either in literature or jurisprudence.
