About this statute

This provision is the preamble to Law 1934 of 2018, stating that it reforms and adds to the Civil Code. Descendants of the nearest degree inherit first and share equally among themselves, without affecting the spouse’s share. Las asignaciones forzosas son las que el testador debe hacer y que se completan si no las hace, incluso contra sus disposiciones testamentarias expresas. The provision defines who counts as legitimarios: descendants, personally or represented, and ascendants. If there are legitimaries, half of the estate is divided among them under intestate succession rules; the testator may freely dispose of the other half after the stated deductions and additions. Lawyers may not become part of the succession to collect their fees.
