Oinordetza itunak euskal Zuzenbide Zibilean

Abstract

The covenant on inheritances forbidden by the Spanish Civil Code, for reasons that are now both incomprehensible and unacceptable, has been used for centuries by civil law in countries that share Pyreneean law so as to guarantee the indivisibility of inherited patrimony. Nowadays the regulations on inheritances are in force in the territories of southern Euskal Herria, but especially in the agenda of the legislator in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, in which the challenge of its updating is becoming more urgent than ever, since the work to adequate the coherent regulations offered by our Medieval Statutes for the needs of Basque society have now become extremely important. This is a challenge of all Basque juridical agents, which we are all to face together. Don't we owe at least this to Basque citizens?
