Aceptación de herencia bajo beneficio de inventario para hijos menores de edad en el Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia

Abstract

This investigation focused on proposing a bill that modifies article 1031 of the Civil Code, article 51 of the Family Code, and complements section f) of article 19 of the Notarial Law. The main objective is to establish that the acceptance of inheritance under the benefit of inventory by minor children is the exclusive competence of the Notary of Public Faith in the Plurinational State of Bolivia, in order to comply with the principle of the Best Interest of the Child. This work was based on the analysis of theoretical, empirical and statistical methods. The application of these methods made it possible to demonstrate the need to modify current legislation to guarantee compliance with the Best Interest of Children and Adolescents in the country. It is crucial to make these modifications without altering the fundamental rights enshrined in the relevant legislation, with the purpose of ensuring that the right to choose and decide is exercised in a timely, efficient and agile manner. In this way, the aim is for children and adolescents to feel that their rights are fully recognized and guaranteed.
