Abstract

The article discusses in general the issue of protection granted by the legislator to a third party executing a legal transaction - with respect to a right included in the inheritance, as a result of which such person acquires the right or is relieved of the obligation - with the so-called reputed heir, i.e. a person formally authorized (according to the decision of the court issued in the case for declaring acquisition of inheritance or a registered notarial deed of succession) to dispose of the property rights included in the estate, but in fact being no heir (Art. 1028 of the Civil Code).
