Summary/Abstract: Every legal institute is naturally determined by the social context in which it arises and the social needs it seeks to satisfy. The Testament does not make an exception, but on the contrary, confirms this rule, as it clearly demonstrates the correlation between the development of the civil turnover and the gradual complication and refinement of the institute. The historical overview aims to show the sources and trends in the contemporary outlook of the testament, thus contributing to its clarification and also to possible approaches in its future normative optimization. Specifically, the article aims to examine the relationship between private property, inheritance law in general and testaments in particular. Subsequently, it traces the emergence of the institute in Roman private law and its transfer to the Bulgarian legal system during the different periods of its historical development.
