Cointestazione dei conti correnti bancari e comunione legale dei beni: le ricadute nel trattamento successorio

The article analyses some problems related to banking accounts jointly assigned to spouses, in cases of death of one spouse. Challenging issues addressed by the contribution concern the application of the rules on forced heirship, on prohibition of succession pacts and on matrimonial property. The author suggests that the particular Italian rules on comunione de residuo may not be applied in favor of the death spouse (id est his/her heirs), but only in favor of the surviving spouse.
