Book Description
With more and more people choosing to live permanently in Spain or to acquire a second home there, Spanish inheritance law is becoming increasingly important. Spanish inheritance law applies to all those who habitually reside in Spain, regardless of their nationality. Therefore, it is particularly important for foreigners living in Spain to familiarise themselves with the regulations in order to optimise their estate and ensure that their will is fully taken into account or to look for another choice of law. Spanish inheritance law differs fundamentally from what northern Europeans are familiar with in many respects. The family and its provision plays a much greater role, which can lead to problems not only for patchwork families. This book provides a detailed introduction to the principles and peculiarities of Spanish inheritance law. It sheds light on the strict rules of forced heirship, which often set limits to the testator's free will, and explains the differences in autonomous regions such as Catalonia, the Basque Country or Galicia, which each have their own inheritance laws. The EU Succession Regulation is also considered, which allows foreigners in Spain to choose their country of origin's inheritance law in favour of their home country in order to circumvent the binding forced heirship provisions of Spanish law. The inheritance tax aspects and options are also presented. With practical tips and concrete instructions for estate planning, from tax-optimised asset transfer to the protection of the spouse, this book is aimed at testators and heirs as well as legal professionals looking for a reliable basis in Spanish inheritance law. The author provides a well-founded insight into a changing field of law and also explains potential future developments, which could be characterised by growing digitalisation and Europe-wide harmonisation. This work is a guide for anyone who wants to understand and actively shape the complexity and opportunities of Spanish inheritance law.

Handbook of Social Status Correlates
Author: Lee Ellis
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128092947
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
The Handbook of Social Status Correlates summarizes findings from nearly 4000 studies on traits associated with variations in socioeconomic status. Much of the information is presented in roughly 300 tables, each one providing a visual snapshot of what research has indicated regarding how a specific human trait appears to be correlated with socioeconomic status. The social status measures utilized and the countries in which each study was conducted are also identified.QUESTIONS ADDRESSED INCLUDE THE FOLOWING: - Are personality traits such as extraversion, competitiveness, and risk-taking associated with social status? - How universal are sex differences in income and other forms of social status? - What is the association between health and social status? - How much does the answer vary according to specific diseases? - How well established are the relationships between intelligence and social status? - Is religiosity associated with social status, or does the answer depend on which religion is being considered? - Are physiological factors correlated with social status, even factors involving the brain? - Finally, are there as yet any "universal correlates of social status"?

New Horizons in Spanish Colonial Law
Author: Thomas Duve
Publisher: Max Planck Institute for European Legal History
ISBN: 3944773020
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
http://dx.doi.org/10.12946/gplh3 http://www.epubli.de/shop/buch/48746 "Spanish colonial law, derecho indiano, has since the early 20th century been a vigorous subdiscipline of legal history. One of great figures in the field, the Argentinian legal historian Víctor Tau Anzoátegui, published in 1997 his Nuevos horizontes en el estudio histórico del derecho indiano. The book, in which Tau addressed seminal methodological questions setting tone for the discipline’s future orientation, proved to be the starting point for an important renewal of the discipline. Tau drew on the writings of legal historians, such as Paolo Grossi, Antonio Manuel Hespanha, and Bartolomé Clavero. Tau emphasized the development of legal history in connection to what he called “the posture superseding rational and statutory state law.” The following features of normativity were now in need of increasing scholarly attention: the autonomy of different levels of social organization, the different modes of normative creativity, the many different notions of law and justice, the position of the jurist as an artifact of law, and the casuistic character of the legal decisions. Moreover, Tau highlighted certain areas of Spanish colonial law that he thought deserved more attention than they had hitherto received. One of these was the history of the learned jurist: the letrado was to be seen in his social, political, economic, and bureaucratic context. The Argentinian legal historian called for more scholarly works on book history, and he thought that provincial and local histories of Spanish colonial law had been studied too little. Within the field of historical science as a whole, these ideas may not have been revolutionary, but they contributed in an important way to bringing the study of Spanish colonial law up-to-date. It is beyond doubt that Tau’s programmatic visions have been largely fulfilled in the past two decades. Equally manifest is, however, that new challenges to legal history and Spanish colonial law have emerged. The challenges of globalization are felt both in the historical and legal sciences, and not the least in the field of legal history. They have also brought major topics (back) on to the scene, such as the importance of religious normativity within the normative setting of societies. These challenges have made scholars aware of the necessity to reconstruct the circulation of ideas, juridical practices, and researchers are becoming more attentive to the intense cultural translation involved in the movement of legal ideas and institutions from one context to another. Not least, the growing consciousness and strong claims to reconsider colonial history from the premises of postcolonial scholarship expose the discipline to an unseen necessity of reconsidering its very foundational concepts. What concept of law do we need for our historical studies when considering multi-normative settings? How do we define the spatial dimension of our work? How do we analyze the entanglements in legal history? Until recently, Spanish colonial law attracted little interest from non-Hispanic scholars, and its results were not seen within a larger global context. In this respect, Spanish colonial law was hardly different from research done on legal history of the European continent or common law. Spanish colonial law has, however, recently become a topic of interest beyond the Hispanic world. The field is now increasingly seen in the context of “global legal history,” while the old and the new research results are often put into a comparative context of both European law of the early Modern Period and other colonial legal orders. In this volume, scholars from different parts of the Western world approach Spanish colonial law from the new perspectives of contemporary legal historical research."
