TESTAMENTUL

– FORMA LEGALĂ DE MANIFESTARE A VOINȚEI OMULUI DUPĂ MOARTE

Abstract

In the present work, we have addressed a theme that seems very topical to us, given that, more than in previous decades, we encounter death, a great and mysterious passage from this world, which does not end our responsibility for the gift of which I received from God, namely life. From this perspective, we tried to discern a legal form of manifestation of man’s will after death ‑ the testament, through the content
of which we can better understand these great people who wrote history, reading, preserving, improving and passing on the cultural heritage that our cultural identity is built. Thus, after analyzing the document from a legal point of view and reconstructing its evolution from the diate form to the testament form, I also chose some case studies, based on documents drawn up by Saint Theodore the Studite, Metropolitan Stefan of Ungrovlahia and Bishop Iacov Stamati of the Huși.
