Summary/Abstract: Law number 287/2009 regarding the Civil Code was published in the Official Gazette of Romania but its date of entering into force hasn’t been established yet. The law reforms the matter of successions, taking into consideration, first of all, the French law which has been always a source of inspiration of the Romanian legislator. Law number 287/2009 brings also a few novelties concerning the validity conditions of the last will act. Therefore, in the present paper, we want, on the one hand to reveal and to analyze the new aspects brought by Law number 287/2009 concerning the validity conditions of the testament and also we try to value their justness. On the other hand, our goal is to identify how much the French law influenced these alterations. Thus, using this actual and useful approach we consider we can contribute to a betterknowledge of the New Civil Code provisions regarding the matter of will.
