INTERVENCIÓN DEL NOTARIO EN LOS TESTAMENTOS OTORGADOS EN PELIGRO INMINENTE DE MUERTE.

Abstract

Critical examination of case law on the possibility of making a will without the assistance of a notary when there is imminent danger of death, provided that the impossibility or extreme difficulty of obtaining a notary's professional assistance in the execution of the will is a matter of record. The state of danger of death is an essential requirement. A testator or testatrix cannot choose, at his or her discretion, to make a will without a notary's assistance when there is nothing preventing a notary from authorising the will.
