Interpretation of the will of the testator when there has been a change of circumstances

Abstract

The  Supreme Court  has  given  a jurisprudential draft  to  the  questions on  the interpretation of the will  of the testator after his  death  so much in the supposition in  which in  the  moment of the  opening of the succession the  spouses were  divorced, as  in  the  supposition in  which the  unmarried couple  of  the  existing testator in  the  moment of  grant  of  the  testament, it  is  not  when the  causer dies  and  the  opening of the succession takes  place.  In  both  suppositions there  has taken  place  a change  of circumstances that  give place to  the  disappearance of the determinant motive for which the  testator did  in  his  day  the  testamentary disposi- tion,  and  consequently the  same  one  is  considered to  be ineffective. Into  the  first case for the divorce  that  originates the matrimonial dissolution, and,  in the second supposition, where  the  transcendent thing  for  the  testator was  that  the  legataria was  his pair, the extinction of the user-friendly relation  turns in ineffectively the testamentary disposition.
