Abstract
This article comprehensively explores the legal nature of the institution of wills, its regulation under the Civil
Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and its place in private international law. The author deeply analyzes the role
of inheritance law in ensuring societal stability and the issues surrounding the recognition and enforcement of
wills executed abroad in the context of globalization. In particular, the importance of the 1961 Hague Convention
on the formal validity of wills is highlighted. The article examines the legal form and substantive requirements of
wills, their creation under exceptional circumstances, and the role of the executor. Additionally, it discusses the
alignment between international practice, the experiences of various countries, and Uzbekistan’s legislation. The
article draws important conclusions regarding the significance of wills in transboundary legal relations and the
international protection of individuals’ testamentary freedoms.
