La reforma del Libro Segundo del Fuero Nuevo: donaciones y sucesiones

Abstract

The Regional Law 21/2019 has made many reforms to the New Legal Code. This article examines the main reforms made to succession law, where the characteristic freedom to dispose for gain that is inherent to Navarre law has been maintained, while in turn it has been definitively separated from the asset organisation of the stem family and the preservation of the unity and continuity of the household. The result is a reorganisation of succession institutions which combines the preservation of many of them –with tweaks and updates of varying significance–, with the displacement of others and, even, with the elimination of some of historic significance in Navarre law, now replaced by a new regulation which, just like the reform as a whole, is worth studying closely.
