• Resumen

  • This paper is provoked by the contradictory case-law of the Supreme Court of Cassation on the interpretation of a clause in a will by which the testator expresses gratitude for the care provided by the beneficiary so far and expresses expectation that it continues in the future. It is assumed that the aforementioned will should not be pronounced void. It is concluded that the right to inheritance is a fundamental constitutionally proclaimed right and the court must interpret the will in favorem validitatis.
