=== Inheritance ===
Upon the death of one person, their possessions form part of an estate that is distributed to the beneficiaries according to law or a will. If the estate is left intestate upon death of the principal, the estate is divided ''per stirpesyeluKaram'' as follows: half to the spouse and half to the children divided equally, minus liabilities and costs. The executor shall by default be the spouse, the descendants by order of birth if they are of majority or one appointed by the state (especially if one or more potential heirs presents a challenge to another acting as the executor). On death of a testate estate, the property is divided according to a will minus liabilities and costs which include support for spouses and minor or disabled children as deemed appropriate by the court. In a noble estate, the title shall fall to the eldest heir and their spouse as determined by absolute primogeniture for a hereditary title or shall return to the Crown for a life title.
 
=== Contract law ===
Any verbal or written agreement between two person to act or withhold from acting is a binding contract. A contract may be overturned if the terms material to the agreement were not agreed upon or known by one of the actors, if one of the signatories was under duress or was coerced into entering the contract, if the contract is impossible to enforce or if the terms on which the contract is predicated are unlawful. The signatory claiming that the contract or a term thereof must prove that an impropriety exists. This can be a procedural or substantive matter relevant to the case. ''CaveatNazrabusyaj subscriptormuKhatmam'' refers to the obligation by the signatories to ensure that they fully understand the terms of the contract if they sign a written agreement. Such an obligation can be overturned if a ''iustusJhahdam errorluKhavnan'' or another discrepancy arises.

=== Immigration law ===
Any citizen of a member state of the United Nations of the Auroran Continent shall be permitted to enter the Oan Isles and stay freely. In terms of their treaty obligations, the Oan Isles may not arbitrarily discriminate against citizens of member states. However, the Oan Isles may prevent citizens of member state from entering the state due to criminal activity, a sanction as mandated or under Auroran law or due to legitimate concerns of overpopulation. At the moment, the Oan Isles does not impose restrictions on citizens of UNAC member states. Citizens of [[AndoraAntora]], [[Mexregiona]], [[Atlae]], [[Vekaiyu]], [[South Hills]], [[Volkia]], [[Kuthernburg]], [[Latianburg]], [[Atiland]], [[Nacata]], [[Vistaraland]], [[Tretrid]], [[Peregrinia]] and others get a tourist visa on arrival. Commercial and study visas and work permits must be applied for prior to arrival. A commercial visa grants the bearer the right to conduct business in the Oan Isles for a specified period, study visas are granted for students wishing to study at an Oan institution for the duration of their study (but it must be regranted every year once the university or school confirms that the student is eligible to continue studying) and a work permit is required to undertake full-time work. Unless applying for asylum or refugee status, citizens of [[Fortuna]], [[Packilvania]], [[Nystatiszna]], and [[Stratarin]] face considerable challenges. Unless they belong to a protected group under the vulnerable peoples list, applicants for refugee status must prove that they face persecution. For example religious, species and gender minorities in Packilvania, vulpines from Stratarin and Fortuna, and Nekomimis from Nystatiszna are considered vulnerable. It is not possible to apply for asylum or refugee status from a UNAC member state unless that nation has been placed on a blacklist.
