Marital Property Agreements

R茅flexion sur l鈥檃ppr茅hension des familles recompos茅es en droit successoral : l鈥檈xemple du droit anglais

Les familles, et parmi elles les familles recompos茅es, ont 茅volu茅 sur les plans d茅mographique, 茅conomique et id茅ologique. Ces 茅volutions conduisent 脿 s鈥檌nterroger sur la fa莽on d鈥檃ppr茅hender les familles recompos茅es en droit successoral. La pr茅sente 茅tude dresse un bref portrait des r猫gles successorales applicables aux familles recompos茅es en France et en Angleterre , d茅montrant les inconv茅nients d鈥檜n syst猫me trop rigide ou, 脿 l鈥檌nverse, trop lib茅ral . Elle examine ensuite de fa莽on plus approfondie la fa莽on dont le droit anglais recourt au pouvoir discr茅tionnaire du juge pour tenter d鈥檃ssurer un certain 茅quilibre. L鈥櫭﹖ude de ce dispositif conduit 脿 s鈥檌nterroger sur la cr茅ation possible de r猫gles plus flexibles pour les nouvelles familles recompos茅es.
