Sažetak
Family, property and property law practices have been the subject of research in different scientific disciplines, but this paper will discuss their mutual relation. The paper emphasizes the phenomenon of property, family and property law practices, that is, the issue of how these phenomena are formed at the moment of splitting within cooperative family structures, characteristic for the area of the Military Frontier. The mentioned phenomena are presented within a specific social and historical context, indicating the influence of economic, political and social circumstances within the studied area. The research refers to the time period of the late 19th century until the second half of the 20th century, while the main area of research encompasses the rural space of Bjelovar region. With the help of archive documents and ethnographic database, as well as available bibliography, the mentioned phenomena will be shown with their alterations and in continuity. The goal is to show how the transfer of property was carried out in practice against the existing laws, i.e. how certain decisions by individuals or family are manifested at the moment they decide to comply with the law and/or common law. The analysis of the available ethnographic archive documents showed the existence of two basic forms of property: material and non-material, that is, personal and real property. Among other things, the research recorded two ways of inheriting, with certain variations: equal and non-equal inheritance right. The transfer of property after splitting of cooperations may be observed as a long-term process, which would start depending on individual decisions within a family. The analysis and interpretation of sources showed that family structure, its transformations, as well as the issue of inter-generation relations were directly related to a certain way of property transfer.
