Abstract
In the procedure of declaring missing persons dead and proving death, the court
decides on declaring missing persons dead and proving death. These proceedings are
initiated, inter alia, due to the need to regulate various legal relations regarding the
death of a person in which that person was a participant during his life and thus remove
uncertainty and legal uncertainty about the legal position of the missing person in all
its legal and other social relations in which the life or death of that person is a legally
relevant fact.
In this paper, the author presents and explains the conditions and procedure
for declaring a missing person dead in Croatian law. The conditions and procedure
for declaring missing persons dead are still regulated by a separate Act on Declaring
Missing Persons Dead and Proving Death, and general rules on the Non-contentious
proceedings Act of 24 July 1974. July 1934.
Keywords
non-contentious proceedings; missing and deceased person; proof of death.
