The purpose of this publication is to present the legal status of the succession manager introduced to the Polish legal order by the Act of 5 July 2018 on the succession management of a natural person’s enterprise and other facilities related to the succession of enterprises. The publication presents the methods of appointing a succession manager, the scope of his competences and the legal nature of his activities. Attention was also paid to the issue of succession manager liability and situations in which the succession manager ceases to perform his function.
It has been 5 years already since the Act of 5 July 2018 on the succession management of a natural person’s enterprise and other facilities related to the succession of enterprises entered into force. However, the question (accompanying this Act from the very beginning) of who should be registered in the land and mortgage register, as the subject entitled to the item acquired by the succession manager, incorporated into the inherited enterprise . has not been solved yet. The article conducts a critical analysis of the solutions presented in the doctrine and attempts to take its own position on the indicated legal issue. The considerations made led to the conclusion that the entry should be made in favor of the owners of the inherited enterprise. Assuming that the legal system has not developed the relevant documents certifying such status (i.e. status of the owner of the inherited enterprise), it should be acknowledged, that the disclosure of the legal status, corresponding to the substantive law, in the land and mortgage register is impossible. Presentedsituation disapplys the obligation of the notary, stated in the art. 92 § 4 of the Act of 14 February 1991 Law on Notaries. In such case, to ensure the security of legal transactions, it is necessary to apply for the entry of a warning about the discrepancy of the legal status recorded in the land and mortgage register with the actual legal status, with attached excerpt of the notarial deed (containing the relevant instructions), which shows that there has been a change in the legal status.
The Act from July 5th, 2018, on the succession management of a natural person.s enterprise and other facilities related to the succession of enterprises did not determine who is the entrepreneur within the period of implementation of the succession management. The Supreme Administrative Court in its judgement from November 23rd 2021 r., II GSK 1749/21 has decided, that based on the Act, the succession manager gains the entrepreneur status. Hence, he is obliged to fulfill statutory obligations imposed on the entrepreneur and is burdened by the negative consequences of the failure. The article undertakes a critical analysis of the Court.s argumentation. It explains the meanings of the notions .activity on its own behalf. and .activity on someone.s account. used to construct the institution of substitutes and legal definition of an entrepreneur. A view has been expressed, that running an enterprise in succession by a succession manager is not equal to running a business (economic activity) as per the understanding of art. 431 of the Civil Code and art. 4, section 1 and 2 in relation to art. 3 of the Law on Entrepreneurs. A view has been formulated that the entrepreneur in the period of the implementation of the succession management is the owner of the enterprise in succession and that this thesis is equal to the statement that the entrepreneur is the enterprise in succession itself as an organizational unit not having legal capacity. A polemic has been undertaken against doctrinal concepts, granting the status of an entrepreneur to other entities.
