DEBARMENT FROM SUCCESSION IN THE CASE OF MURDER FOR MATERIAL INTEREST
DEBARMENT FROM SUCCESSION IN THE CASE OF MURDER FOR MATERIAL INTEREST

Summary/Abstract: Inheritance is an institution in its own right, but which has a number of links with other important legal institutions in the field of civil law, such as family and property, as well as in other branches of law. The connection between successions and the matter of criminal law emerges from the need to fulfill the requirements by those called to inherit in order to be able to have a succession vocation, this being one of the main conditions imposed to be able to inherit. In order to carry out this procedure, debarment appears as a civil sanction that intervenes if one of the persons called to inherit is found guilty of committing a very serious crime against the deceased. Successor debarment is determined by the nature of the crime committed by the successor, the category of these acts, although it is restricted, presents a series of particularities that often raise serious problems of interpretation for practitioners.
