Summary/Abstract: The New Civil Code meets the requirements of legal professionals and improves the legal definition from the previous regulation. Although the New Civil Code retains the general background legalized by the old Civil Code, a welcome, pertinent, necessary and important evolution is to be noticed. There are certainly novelty elements in the content of the New Civil Code and a clear differentiation is drawn between testament and legacy, the two of them benefitting from dedicated texts within the New Civil Code. It is to be noticed that this new definition, filtering judiciously the criticisms and the previous doctrinary construction, succeeds in saving itself of criticism or necessary doctrinary addenda as it manages to comprise the essential.
