EL ALMA COMO TITULAR REGISTRAL DE FINCAS.

Abstract

This paper raises the possibility of the soul's being appointed a person's heir under section 747 of the Spanish Civil Code. The paper analyses the possibility and validity of such an appointment, through civil and registration case law, and the necessary requirements that such a peculiar disposition would at all events have to meet. In addition, the paper endeavours to analyse the relationship between a soul as heir and the property registration system: whether property can be registered as belonging to a soul or not, and what conditions are required in order to reflect compliance with such a will in the registration records.
