Learning unit contents
Successions and liberalities are ways of transferring goods that are widely used and are subject to complex regulations. No legal practitioner can afford to not understand the most important of these rules.
The introductory course to successions and liberalities aims to:
- shed light on the links that exist between the field of successions and that of liberalities;
- define the raison d'être and the major outlines of the civil regime specific to liberalities;
- set out the principles applicable to the civil liquidation of a succession;
- address the taxation of liberalities and successions.
The subject will be approached through three questions: what is a liberality? What is the specific legal regime around liberalities? What becomes of a person's belongings and debts upon their death?
