The article analyzes the legal consequences of the heir's choice of the method of inheritance acceptance through the prism of ensuring a balance of public and private interests in hereditary legal relations. Special attention is paid to the actual acceptance of inheritance as a factor of legal uncertainty that can negatively affect the rights of heirs of subsequent generations, creditors of the testator, as well as participants in common ownership. The necessity of reviewing the current presumption of inheritance acceptance is substantiated and it is proposed to expand the application of measures for the protection and trust management of inherited property on the initiative of interested parties in the absence of an open inheritance case.
