In feudal Hungarian inheritance law, there were two types of vincula. One was the
“aviticitas”, which restricted family property to intestate succession, and the other
was the “fideicommissum”, which appeared in Hungary during the 17th century. Due to
unique family efforts, the fideicommissum in Hungary was regulated by Act 9 of 1687,
allowing Hungarian aristocrats to establish fideicommissa on their acquired estates.
The same was granted to common nobles in 1723.
