Right that the Law attributes to the heir when he sees his patrimonial benefit diminished or flooded because of the legacies that he is obliged to satisfy.


Considering this circumstance, the heir has the right to obtainner a quarter of the hereditary patrimony, even when obtaining it implies the reduction or suppression of legacies. As it is not a mandatory law, the heir has the power to exclude himself by the will of the testator, and waive this right.    Source: Inheritance Law of Catalonia by Javier Gómez Taboada
