Objeto de esta investigación que engloba Derecho romano, Ciencia jurídica alemana del siglo XIX, y Derecho civil actual, es el denominado “legatum debiti”. Disposición testamentaria en virtud de la cual el “de cuius” atribuye a su acreedor una cosa o cantidad en consideración de una deuda que con él tenía. Este trabajo pone de manifiesto que la construcción dogmática del "legatum debiti" tiene su fundamento en el Derecho romano; si bien no en las fuentes clásicas y justinianeas, sino en la elaboración que de éstas hizo la doctrina pandectística. Las razones que justificarían el recurso a esta figura jurídica por parte del testador: fines lícitos (introducir algún cambio en la relación obligatoria que se traducía en una ventaja para el acreedor; purificación de la obligación que se debía a condición o término; sustitución de la acción honoraria por acción civil; renuncia implícita a una excepción, o exigibilidad inmediata o en lugar más conveniente para el acreedor). Fines ilícitos (favorecer a través del testamento a alguien que, de otro modo, no habría podido heredar-vulneración leyes caducarías y Falcidia-). Se analizan, asimismo, los tratados de Pandectas, tanto de autores pertenecientes a la primera generación de alumnos de Savigny, como de otros pertenecientes a la ciencia jurídica alemana de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Se concluye aludiendo a la inexistencia en el BGB de alusión alguna al "legado de deuda" pese a su influencia pandectística.

The volume Planning for Death: Wills and Death-Related Property Arrangements in Europe, 1200-1600 analyses death-related property transfers in several European regions (England, Poland, Italy, South Tirol, and Sweden). Laws and customary practice provided a legal framework for all post-mortem property devolution. However, personal preference and varied succession strategies meant that individuals could plan for death by various legal means. These individual legal acts could include matrimonial property arrangements (marriage contracts, morning gifts) and legal means of altering heirship by subtracting or adding heirs. Wills and testamentary practice are given special attention, while the volume also discusses the timing of the legal acts, suggesting that while some people made careful and timely arrangements, others only reacted to sudden events. Contributors are Christian Hagen, R.H. Helmholz, Mia Korpiola, Anu Lahtinen, Marko Lamberg, Margareth Lanzinger, Janine Maegraith, Federica Masè, Anthony Musson, Tuula Rantala, Elsa Trolle Önnerfors, and Jakub Wysmułek.

More than 25 experts from around the world have contributed to this unique and provocative book. In a series of illuminating short essays, each author has presented a striking image as an invitation to consider the ghosts of colonialism and imperialism in today's global economy. In defiance of those who claim that today's capitalist system is free of racism and exploitation, this book shows that the past is not behind us, it defines our world and our lives. This book takes the reader on a global tour, from Malaysia to Canada, from Angola to Mexico, from Libya to China, from the City of London to the Australian outback, from the deep sea to the atmosphere. Along the way we meet the financiers, artists, advertisers, activists and everyday people who are grappling with the entangled legacies of empire.
