OCR / reading note
This is a conservative transcription/translation based on a damaged scan. The documentary difference inside the same PDF is material:

- in the later Novi Sad form, there is a handwritten addition: minor Miletić Milivoj, son — guardian: attorney Lisica Miloš
Comments on source passages (9)
Pál’s death and civil identifiers
The death report identifies Pavle/Pál and records death on 7 November 1978 in Bački Vinogradi. This is the deceased-person entry from which the later estate proceeding follows; the child and heirs appear in separate parts of the packet.
Death record / paternal-line opening
Broader comment
The death record is not isolated; it leads into the estate and paternal-line file.
Helena represents Roža on the heir list
The heir list names Roža and identifies Helena as her attorney. Helena’s role here is representative of this listed heir; her later statement introducing Milivoj in probate is a different action that must be read in its own record.
Death record / paternal-line opening
Broader comment
The death record is not isolated; it leads into the estate and paternal-line file.
Roža is a listed heir
Roža is listed as an heir represented by Helena. This passage assigns her an estate-party role; her earlier care testimony in P-1642/76 and later appellate attack are separate roles at different stages.
Death record / paternal-line opening
Broader comment
The death record is not isolated; it leads into the estate and paternal-line file.
Milivoj added as son with a guardian
The later Novi Sad form lists minor Miletić Milivoj as son and names Lisica Miloš as guardian. This is the child’s explicit appearance in the estate preparation, not merely Pál’s death data. The earlier form’s different list must not be merged with this addition.

Helena’s written request starts probate
The packet says the proposal to initiate probate was made on Helena’s written request as the heir-party’s representative. This is an initiation step; it must be connected to, but not substituted for, her later acknowledgment and guardianship statement about Milivoj.

Broader comment

Pál’s birth identifiers in the death extract
This extract gives Pavle’s exact birth on 25 January 1928 in Hrtkovci and his father Stjepan. It corroborates the deceased’s identity across the death and divorce records; it does not by itself name Milivoj’s father.

Comparison of the two heir lists
This is the Markdown’s comparison note: it distinguishes the Subotica/Palić list from the later Novi Sad form with Milivoj added as son and Lisica as guardian. It explains two source layers; it is not an additional original death-register sentence.
