Il divieto dei patti successori

Object of this study is the relationship between private decision making – analysed within the context of self-determination – and the prohibition of agreements as to successions, laid down in the Italian law art. 458 c.c., i.e. the prohibition of contractually binding one’s own inheritance. Without forgetting traditions, without underestimating new social needs, without neglecting the new European dimension of succession rights, considering the latest EU regulation 650/2012 as to succession, this treatise enhances the constitutional order that today does not sit comfortably with such a prohibition: thus ascertaining that the prohibition of binding one’s own inheritance is not acceptable anymore.
