Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse the Will as a legal instrument in inheritance. The present study was developed under a descriptive documentary methodology. The research was based on the collection and analysis of 12 academic articles. The Will remains a fundamental pillar in inheritance law, allowing individuals to exercise their autonomy in the disposition of their assets after their death. However, its application faces challenges ranging from the need to balance testamentary freedom with the rights of legitimate heirs to the incorporation of new legal figures and adaptation to exceptional contexts, such as epidemics.
