Özet:

 The contracht of succession is a testamentary disposition having binding character. In principle, the testator cannot unilaterally and freely revoke this disposition in hisher lifetime. As a rule, This can be only possible within the limits drawn by the Turkish Civil Code. However, the testator can still freely dispose of hisher assets after concluding the contract of succession. These dispositions are legally valid. However, Since the contract of succession, unlike testament, is a bilateral and binding testamentary disposition, an exception has been made to this rule. According to art. 527II of Turkish Civil Code, testamentary dispositions and donations of testator that are incompatible with obligations under the contract of succession, can be subject to challenge. The equivalent of this provision in the Swiss Civil Code is ZGB Art. 494 Para. 3. It should be stated that different opinions have emerged regarding the application conditions of the provisions. There are some differences of opinion between a part of doctrine and especially the decisions of the Swiss Federal Court regarding the challenge of subsequent donations of the testator when a heir is appointed with contract of succession. In addition, with the Revision of Inheritance Law in Switzerland, ZGB art. 494 para. 3 has been changed. With all these reasons, examining the subject has become a necessity.

 Miras sözleşmesi bağlayıcı niteliği haiz bir ölüme bağlı tasarruftur. Prensip olarak mirasbırakan bu tasarrufu, sağlığında tek başına ve serbestçe ortadan kaldıramaz. Bu kural olarak yalnızca, Türk Medeni Kanununun çizdiği sınırlar dahilinde mümkün olabilir. Bununla beraber, mirasbırakan miras sözleşmesi yaptıktan sonra da malvarlığı üzerinde serbestçe tasarruf edebilir. Onun bu tasarrufları hukuken geçerlidir. Fakat miras sözleşmesinin, vasiyetnameden farklı olarak iki taraflı ve bağlayıcı bir ölüme bağlı tasarruf olması sebebiyle, bu kurala bir istisna getirilmiştir. TMK m. 527II uyarınca, mirasbırakanın miras sözleşmesel yükümlülüklerle bağdaşmayan ölüme bağlı tasarrufları ile bağışlamaları itiraza iptale konu olabilecektir. Bu hükmün İsviçre Medeni Kanunundaki karşılığı ZGB Art. 494 Abs. 3tür. Hükümlerin uygulama koşulları bakımından farklı görüşlerin ortaya çıktığı belirtilmelidir. Miras sözleşmesi ile mirasçı atandığında, mirasbırakanın sonraki bağışlamalarının iptaline ilişkin öğretinin bir kısmı ve özellikle İsviçre Federal Mahkemesi kararları arasında bazı görüş farklılıkları bulunmaktadır. Buna ilaveten, İsviçredeki Miras Hukuku Revizyonu ile beraber ZGB Art. 494 Abs. 3 de değişikliğe uğramıştır. Tüm bu sebeplerle, konunun incelenmesi bir gereklilik halini almıştır.
