King Sigismund II Augustus abolishes the old Lwów custom excluding grandchildren from inheriting from their grandparents and establishes the right of representation, equalizing their share in the inheritance with uncles and aunts. Furthermore, he entrusts the mayor and councilors of Lwów with full authority to resolve all existing inheritance disputes of this kind without the possibility of appeal to the King.
