English

Subject field(s)
  • Law of Succession (civil law)
CONT

Under the laws of forced heirship, forced heirs are guaranteed their forced portion of the estate.... The decedents under forced heirship jurisdictions are only allowed to freely devise the disposable portion of their estate; the size of the disposable estate is dependent on the number of forced heirs that the decedent has left.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit successoral (droit civil)
CONT

A condition de figurer dans la liste que la loi fixe et à condition qu'ils acceptent la succession de leur auteur, certains héritiers sont légalement garantis de ne pas être déshérités par leur auteur. Ils bénéficient de la «réserve héréditaire» : il s'agit donc de la part des biens et des droits successoraux dont la loi garantit la transmission à certains héritiers dits «réservataires».

OBS

Au Québec, la liberté de tester prime depuis l'entrée en vigueur de l'Acte de Québec en 1774, excluant du même coup la réserve héréditaire du droit civil de la province.
