El Concepte de testament merament revocatori

Authors

Abstract

Book iv of the Civil Code of Catalonia explicitly admits for the first time in Article 422-9 the validity of a will whose only content is the revocation of a previous will, without the need to institute an heir. This is the so called merely revocatory will and its innovatory character and difficulty of fitting into our Succession Law demands a rigorous analysis of its concept and of its nature, with special attention to the practical problems which it entails. The aim of this paper is to approach the study and legal construction of the merely revocatory will concept in Catalan Succession Law, and with this goal we make a brief analysis of its historical sources, its doctrinal interpretation and its classification within the Civil Code of Catalonia.
