There is the legitim in the Polish law?
In Italian law the legitim is that part of an estate over which the testator
has no power of disposal if there are forced heirs (the children and
generally the surviving spouse).
Thank you in advance.

As far as I know in Poland testator has nearly no power at all of
deciding how he wants to divide his possesions. Heirs can easily
question his will after he's dead.
I think what you ask for is called in PL "zachowek" (I don't know how
to translate this).
Generally when heirs are quarelling inheritance is divided concerning
value (Court calculates everything and express it as money value, and
then divide into parts and it takes ca. 7 years - no comments)

"Legitim" is a rough equivalent to the Polish term "zachowek".
However, the details may differ. "Zachowek" means that even if the
dead bequeathed his/her property to people other than
his/her children or wife, or siblings (if s/he doesn't have children),
the wife, the children (or the siblings) may claim a part of his/her
property. But keep in mind I'm not a lawyer:)
