Legs et son objet

"The Legacy and Its Object" is a comprehensive dissertation that delves into the legal analysis of the topic of "legacy." The author, Hugo Porchet, examines the definition and implications of legacies according to Article 484 of the Swiss Civil Code. Rather than merely presenting a list of possible legacy objects, a thorough analysis of the legal nature and liberal characteristics of legacies is conducted. The work is divided into three main chapters, addressing the legal consequences of legacies, their liberal nature, and the conflicts between legacies and the institution of inheritance. Notably, the third chapter tackles complex issues surrounding the legacy of partial amounts, including the topics of mandatory shares and available quotas. This innovative approach offers new perspectives on a traditional subject in civil law.
