The Right to Execute After the Death of the Executed Against (Between Guarantees and Restrictions) A Case Study in Libyan and Egyptian Laws
Abstract
The right to execute is not affected by the death of the negative party (the executed against) as long as his personality is not subject to special consideration, as this right is transferred against the heirs of the executed against, but this right clashes with the right of the heirs to inheritance, and their right not to execute against them with procedures they know nothing about, and their right to dispose of the money of their deceased and not to be prosecuted in their own money. This intertwining of rights, the legislator tried to balance between them, as he granted the right to execution some guarantees and restricted it with some restrictions. The wisdom behind this seems to be to protect the heirs from being surprised by the procedures of forced execution on the one hand, and on the other hand to protect the interest of the person requesting execution in ensuring that he obtains his right, meaning that the legislator restricted the right to execution with some restrictions to protect the heirs of the person against whom execution is being carried out, and in return he gave the person requesting execution some guarantees to maintain the general guarantee in application of the rule (the debtor’s money is a guarantee for the fulfilment of his debts). That is, the applicant for execution is required to notify the heirs of the executive instrument, state his intention to initiate the execution procedures, and give them sufficient time after notifying them and before initiating the execution procedures. In return, he has the right to preserve the debtor's funds as a general guarantee for him, as the legislator granted him the right to seize the debtor's funds before initiating the execution on them and before notifying the heirs, for fear of smuggling them or disposing of them by the heirs. The legislator also granted him the right to compulsory insurance for his right to the estate's real estate. Thus, the legislator has balanced between protecting the interests of the heirs and protecting the interests of the applicant for execution. He did not make the right to execution absolute, but rather restricted it with some restrictions while granting him some guarantees to ensure his right.
