TweetPreterition

It is the non-mention of a heirship in the testament or succession agreement; or the mention but without any patrimonial attribution.


 There are two types of preterition: a) the intentional: it derives from the will of the deceased not to mention the heirship or to leave nothing, so that he may claim his legitimacy from the heir of the deceased; and b) erroneous preterition: el testator ignores the existence of the legitimary, so that this is not mencited. Can carry consecuencias serious, such as the invalidity of the will.    Source: Catalan inheritance law of Javier Gomez Taboada. Editorial Lex Nova, SA
