La substitution fidéicommissaire pour le surplus, analyse de droit suisse

"The fiduciary substitution for the surplus" is a comprehensive specialist book that deals with a significant legal institution in Swiss law. This institution allows the testator to extend their power of disposition over two consecutive generations. Originally rooted in Roman law, the fiduciary substitution has persisted to this day and is enshrined in Articles 488 et seq. of the Swiss Civil Code. The author, Michel Monod, provides a detailed analysis of the historical development of this institution, its application in Switzerland, and its impact on the legal system. The work is divided into three central sections that illuminate the motivations of the testator, the initiation of the estate arrangement, and the specific challenges of fiduciary substitution. The book is of great benefit to both practitioners and students, as it contains numerous examples and diagrams to illustrate the topic.
