Abstract

This paper aims to study the differences between the two distinct systems of Brazilian inheritance law: the spouse system and the surviving partner system. These differences will be demonstrated from the point of view of the new Brazilian civil law, since Brazil has adopted a new Civil Code that replaced the old Civil Code of 1916 and has been in force since January 2003. Thus, the reader will have the opportunity to examine, in parallel, the privileged position of the widow or widower, that is, the surviving spouse, over the position of the couple who lives in a family bond but is not officially married under civil law.
