Keywords:
Chinese Civil Code; legal identity; legal existence; death declaration
Abstract
Although Vietnamese law does stipulate the conditions for declaring someone’s death and its legal consequences, not all of real-life situations are covered. By comparing Vietnamese and Chinese civil codes, the article analyses the conditions for declaring someone’s death, its legal consequences, and the legal consequences of revoking a death declaration, thereby suggesting legal solutions to improve Vietnamese law on this institution.
