In recent years, Italian law of succession in the recent years has seemed to pay greater attention to the testamentary freedom. See, on the specific issue of disinheritance the comparative overview by F. BARTOLINI & F.P. PATTI, ‘The freedom to disinherit children’, ZEuP (Zeitschrift für Europäisches Privatrecht) 2018, p 428.
G. MARINO, ibid, at 197 qualifies this act of private autonomy as a unilateral act (a substantial authorization); whereas V. BARBA, ‘Interessi post mortem tra testamento e altri atti di ultima volontà’, Riv. dir. civ. (Rivista di diritto civile) 2017, p (319) at 343 gathers it into the category of unilateral acts mortis causa other than will. Other examples of acts of entrustment usually qualified as agency post mortem exequendum are provided by G. RESTA, Dir. inf. 2014, at 919. For a general overview on will substitutes in Italian law, see G. CHRISTANDL, ‘Will-Substitutes in Italy’, in A. Braun & A. Röthel (eds), Passing Wealth on Death. Will-Substitutes in Comparative Perspective (Oxford: Hart Publishing, 2016) p (131) at 147.
Such compliance follows the non-patrimonial nature of the assets at stake, as art. 458 Italian Civil Code only prohibits patrimonial attributions through succession agreements: cf D. ACHILLE, Il divieto dei patti successori. Contributo allo studio dell’autonomia privata nella successione futura (Napoli: Jovene, 2012).
