遗嘱继承是按照遗嘱人生前所立的遗嘱来确定遗产继承人以及处理遗产的一种继承方式。遗嘱继承制度和法定继承制度并为继承领域的两大制度。
Among the two methods of inheritance , inheritance by operation of law is still the dominant one because most of the people are accustomed to disposing of their own property after death by law . while succession ex testamenta is favorable for the testate to dispose of his estate in accordance with his own will . compared with the system of inheritance by operation of law , the system of succession ex testamenta is privileged in effect
在这两种继承方式中，法定继承仍然是占绝对优势的继承方式，人们大多习惯让法律来处理自己的身后事。而遗嘱继承更便于被继承人按照自己的意志处分遗产。与法定继承制度相比，遗嘱继承制度具有效力上的优先性。
