Succession to the throne (Liechtenstein)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The succession of inheritance and throne of the Principality of Liechtenstein was regulated by family contract in 1606. According to this contract, the patrilineal (agnatic) primogeniture successor (right of birthright) applies , i.e. H. Women are completely excluded from the line of succession and the male firstborn of the oldest line is heir to the throne. With this inheritance, the family ownership of the house and other privileges (including the title, the house archive and the collections) are inherited to him ( Salian law ). The firstborn son of the ruling prince acquires the right of succession for himself and his male descendants through his birth.

After various additions to the family contract, the house laws were combined in a new uniform law in 1993, the "House law of the Princely House of Liechtenstein of October 26, 1993".
