Abstract
Polemics with the view that the right to the grave is always only a property right has led me to pay attention to the phenomenon of private rights. Probably all private rights to goods are both of proprietary and non-proprietary character, certainly in various proportions. Moreover, an attempt to define the nature of goods as only property or only non-property seems unreliable. The article also reminds the former role of footnotes as a place of valuable digressions, complementing polemics, sometimes invaluable pieces of information. Besides I present such areas of research on law, regarding the post mortem situations, which are rarely of interest to scholars.
