- Abstract (Swedish)
- I svensk rätt finns ingen arvsrätt för sambor. Om samborna har bröstarvingar saknar de möjlighet att testamentera hela kvarlåtenskapen till varandra på grund av bröstarvingarnas rätt att få ut sin laglott.
Uppsatsens syfte är att diskutera efterlevandeskyddet för sambor och om det är ändamålsenligt givet en modern syn på samboskap. Genom att studera gällande rätt och förarbeten identifieras vilka synsätt på makar och sambor som har påverkat utformningen av efterlevandeskydd i svensk rätt. Vidare undersöks vilka värderingar avseende sambor som går att identifiera i efterlevandeskydden för sambor i skandinavisk rätt och slutligen hur ett efterlevandeskydd för sambor kan se ut i svensk rätt med utgångspunkt i moderna värderingar....

Uppsatsens syfte är att diskutera efterlevandeskyddet för sambor och om det är ändamålsenligt givet en modern syn på samboskap. Genom att studera gällande rätt och förarbeten identifieras vilka synsätt på makar och sambor som har påverkat utformningen av efterlevandeskydd i svensk rätt. Vidare undersöks vilka värderingar avseende sambor som går att identifiera i efterlevandeskydden för sambor i skandinavisk rätt och slutligen hur ett efterlevandeskydd för sambor kan se ut i svensk rätt med utgångspunkt i moderna värderingar. Undersökningen sker med rättsdogmatisk metod avseende att fastställa gällande rätt, rättsanalytisk metod för att diskutera ett framtida rättsläge och rättssociologisk metod för att urskilja vilka värderingar avseende sambor som går att identifiera i de skandinaviska efterlevandeskydden.
De synsätt som har påverkat utformningen av makars respektive sambors efterlevandeskydd i svensk rätt är främst att sambor har ansetts vara unga och att samboskapet betraktats som ett förstadium till äktenskap. Makar har setts som mer skyddsvärda än gemensamma bröstarvingar, vilket har lett till ett bättre skydd för dem. De värderingar som framträder i skandinaviska efterlevandeskydd för sambor är individualism, där samborna ses som två separata enheter, och gemenskap, där samborna ses som två delar en gemenskap.
Som inspiration för utformande av sambors efterlevandeskydd i framtiden kan ordningen med olika efterlevandeskydd beroende på längden och karaktären av samboskapet användas. Denna ordning finns i både Danmark och Norge. I dansk rätt krävs ett aktivt handlande från kvalificerade sambor för att ett utökat efterlevandeskydd ska bli applicerbart, medan det i norsk rätt föreligger legal arvsrätt för sambor som har, har haft eller väntar gemensamma bar (Less) - Abstract
- In Swedish law, there is no right of inheritance for unmarried cohabitants. If the cohabitants have direct heirs, the cohabitants lack the opportunity to leave their entire estate to each other due to the heirs’ right to receive their statutory share of inheritance.

The aim of this essay is to discuss the survivors’ protection for cohabitants and whether it is appropriate given a modern interpretation of cohabitation. By studying current law and legislative history, it is identified which interpretations of spouses and cohabitants have influenced the design of survivors’ protection in Swedish law. Furthermore, it is investigated which morals regarding cohabitants can be identified in the survivors’ protection for cohabitants in Scandinavian law and finally how a survivors’ protection for cohabitants can look like in Swedish law based on contemporary morals. The essay is conducted using a legal dogmatics method regarding determining current law, a legal analytical method for discussing a future legislation and a method of sociology of law for distinguishing which morals regarding cohabitants can be identified in the Scandinavian survivors’ protections.
The interpretations that have influenced the design of the survivors’ protection of spouses and cohabitants according to Swedish law are mainly that cohabitants were considered to be young, and that cohabitation was regarded as a precursor to marriage. Spouses have been seen as more worthy of protection than joint direct heirs, which has led to better protection for them. The morals that appear in Scandinavian survivors’ protection for cohabitants are individualism, where the cohabitants are considered as two separate individuals, and community, where they are considered as two parts of a unit.
As inspiration for the design of cohabitants’ survivors’ protection in the future, the arrangement with different survivors’ protections depending on the length and nature of the cohabitation can be used. This arrangement exists in both Denmark and Norway. In Danish law, an active action from the qualified cohabitants is required for the extended survivors’ protection to be applicable, whereas in Norwegian law there is a legal right of inheritance for cohabitants who have, have had or are expecting joint children.
