THE PATRIMONY IN THE LIGHT OF CURRENT LEGAL REGULATIONS

Abstract

Patrimony is one of the fundamental concepts of civil law, continuously evolving under the influence of economic, technological, and social transformations. From the classical conception of patrimony as a single legal universality, contemporary law has come to recognize autonomous patrimonial masses, the patrimony of affectation, as well as new forms of digital, cultural, and ecological patrimony. This article aims to analyze the concept of patrimony in the light of current legal regulations, focusing on the provisions of the New Civil Code, recent doctrinal developments, and the challenges generated by the digital economy and globalization.
