The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal regarding the suspension of the registration of a deed for the liquidation of a matrimonial property regime and the adjudication of an inheritance. The dispute concerns whether a legatee of an aliquot share must intervene in the partition when the transferor's heirs have renounced the inheritance outright (Art. 1006 of the Civil Code). The resolution analyses the application of the right of transmission in cases of inheritance renunciation.
For heirs and legatees, the ruling clarifies the limits of intervention in succession partitions when the right of transmission applies (Art. 1006 of the Civil Code). In this specific case, the debate focuses on whether the renunciation by forced heirs precludes the need for ratification by a legatee of an aliquot share in the partition of the original deceased's assets. This reduces the requirement for appearances in complex inheritance liquidation processes.
