Abstract

This paper analyses civil law in Guipúzcoa, first as common law and then as written law. Law 3/1999 of 26 November aims to specify the traditions sustained in rural parts of Guipúzcoa in terms of guaranteeing the undivided transfer of farmsteads, which represent an important social reality in the province. The aforementioned regulation contemplates a series of optional instruments designed to facilitate this purpose. These constitute important specialisations within common civil law, such as joint wills, execution by trustee and inheritance pacts. The purpose of the paper is to examine the broadest and most beneficial system contemplated in civil law for the inheritance of farmsteads.
