Eelistamisel

Eelistamisel is an Estonian legal term that translates to "preferential treatment" or "priority" in English. It refers to a legal right or a situation where a specific party is granted an advantage or precedence over others in a particular context. This concept can arise in various legal domains, including property law, debt collection, and inheritance.

In property law, eelistamisel might manifest as a pre-emption right, allowing a tenant or a co-owner the first opportunity to purchase a property before it is offered to the general public. This right is often established by law or by a contractual agreement.

In the context of debt collection, eelistamisel can refer to the priority a creditor has in recovering their debt from a debtor's assets. Secured creditors, for instance, typically have eelistamisel over unsecured creditors. This means they have a legal right to be paid first from the proceeds of the sale of specific collateral.

In inheritance law, certain heirs may have eelistamisel to specific assets of the deceased's estate, depending on the applicable laws and the testator's will. This ensures that particular beneficiaries receive priority for certain items or portions of the inheritance. The specific conditions and scope of eelistamisel are always determined by the relevant legal provisions and any agreements between parties.
