This essay is based on whether the restrictions on the freedom to dispose of one’s succession by will, according to the Argentinean Inheritance Law, are accurate in order to protect and enhance life quality of the elderly.
After the introductory ideas, the first part is referred to the premises that support the reserved portion regime and its current validity in Argentinean Inheritance Law. The second part exposes some of the new paradigms that lead to consider alter solutions. The third part focuses on different alternatives which have been discussed in Argentina as well as in Comparative Law. The last part provides the reasons why it is necessary to adapt the reserved portion law because it unfairly restricts the elder´s free will.
El artículo analiza las restricciones a la libertad de testar del derecho sucesorio argentino y su adecuación con la exigencia de procurar el mejoramiento de la calidad de vida de la persona en sus años de vejez.
Tras el planteo de la cuestión, desarrolla en la primera parte los presupuestos en los que se fundamenta el régimen de legítima del derecho sucesorio argentino y su vigencia actual; continúa en la segunda parte exponiendo algunos de los nuevos paradigmas que conducen a pensar en otras soluciones; en la tercera parte incursiona brevemente en alternativas que se han planteado en Argentina y en la regulación en el derecho comparado; y en la cuarta parte ofrece algunas razones para concluir en la necesidad de modificar la legítima, en tanto restringe la autonomía de la voluntad de las personas de edad avanzada.
