The reason for which the legislation inserted this institution in the Civil Code of 1864 and maintain it in the new Civil Code was determined by the idea that through the donations made for the spouse or descendents, it did not intended to advantage the grantee, but just to offer him an advance over the inheritance which that is due to him. This obligation does not have an imperative feature, because the grantee can save the grantee of the relation of donation, under the conditions stated by the law. The current paper aims to briefly analyze the provisions of the new Civil Code, emphasizing the novelties inserted by the legislator in this area.
