This paper is a polemic with some theses of an interesting monograph by Mariusz Załucki “Videotestament. Prawo spadkowe wobec nowych technologii” (“Videotestament. Law of succession in the face of modern technologies”). The main thesis of the polemic concerns the real meaning of the popular understanding that contemporary forms of last will are based on “Roman model”. It is shown that the category of Roman legal framework is much more precise and useful in explaining the relation between modern succession law and its Roman sources. The videotestament, whatever form it could eventually take, would always fit in this framework perfectly. Further part of the paper discusses some notions about possible advantages of the videotestament putting forward a thesis that it does not have to be safer than traditional forms and that the widespread use of recording devices seriously threatens the possibility of determining if an author of a video really had animus testandi. However, all the critical remarks of this paper are primarily aimed at developing the discussion on the important topic raised in Mariusz Załucki’s monograph.

This article addresses issues relating to the form of last wills and testaments under Polish law. Articles 949-958 of the Polish Civil Code prescribe the forms last wills and testaments may take, ruling that a will infringing these provisions is invalid. In the context of these regulations and the ongoing discussion on amendments to Polish civil law, we should perhaps consider whether the provisions currently in force prescribing admissible forms of wills correspond to today’s reality, especially as regards the development of modern technologies. One of the ways to modernise Polish inheritance law postulated by some of the specialists on doctrine is to make electronic wills or video wills legal under Polish civil law.

W niniejszym artykule przybliżono kwestie związane z formą testamentu. Polski ustawodawca w art. 949-958 kodeksu cywilnego przewidział przepisy o formie testamentu oraz wskazał, że testament sporządzony z ich naruszeniem jest nieważny. W kontekście tych regulacji, a także dyskusji na temat zmian w polskim prawie cywilnym, konieczne wydaje się zastanowienie, czy aktualnie obowiązujące przepisy w zakresie formy testamentu przystają do współczesnych realiów, w tym rozwoju nowych technologii. Jedną z form uwspółcześnienia polskiego prawa spadkowego jest postulowany przez część doktryny postulat wprowadzenia do kodeksu cywilnego testamentu elektronicznego lub wideotestamentu.
