Exclusão da sucessão por indignidade em caso de abandono material: (im)possibilidade jurídica

Abstract

This article aims at analyzing the legal possibility of extending the causes foreseen in the Brazilian legal system for deprivation of inheritance. In the context of human relations, there are several scenarios that raise questions about whether or not a certain heir deserves the receipt of the estate of the deceased. This study aims to analyze one of these situations in order to scrutinize the juridical possibility of an amplifying interpretation of the norm for purposes of exclusion of the inheritance right from the ascending heir who has materially abandoned the descendant author of the succession.
