A collection of five civil law decrees concerning family, wills, and the hereditary transmission of property. The Josephite period was particularly active in reforming civil legislation, seeking to rationalize a system inherited from the Philippine Ordinances and adapt it to the demands of a changing society, with special attention to limiting testamentary capacity in favor of religious persons and institutions and clarifying the rights of heirs. October 24, 1754 (King Joseph I) — Orders that the civil possession that the deceased had during their lifetime should immediately pass, in the case of unencumbered property, to the written or legitimate heirs; in the case of entailed property, to the immediate successor; clarification of the moment of transmission of possession. July 30, 1765 (King Joseph I) — Expands the provisions regarding the collection of inheritances of vassals who died in the Overseas Territories, for the benefit of the legitimate heirs in the Kingdom; protection of the heirs of vassals who died overseas. February 12, 1765 (King Joseph I) — Expands and clarifies the Law of August 17, 1761, concerning the abolition of inheritances and dowries for daughters of noble houses; determines what daughters of noble houses who do not marry should receive. June 25, 1766 (King Joseph I) — Reform of the Laws on wills and last wishes: prohibition of appointments in favor of religious persons or brotherhoods; limitation of testamentary inheritance in favor of the Church; Pombaline testamentary law as a reference. c. 1784 (Queen Maria I) — Perpetual Law Charter ordering the form and solemnity with which betrothals must be contracted to have legitimate validity; prescription of the conditions for the validity of the engagement contract. The collection documents fundamental aspects of family and inheritance law under the Old Regime: the transmission of property, inheritances overseas, the legitimate shares of noble daughters, the limits of religious testamentary capacity, and the form of betrothal. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
