The article addresses the cause of disinheritance based on an offence against life, health or liberty or of a gross affront to dignity of a testator’s next of kin (Arti-cle 1008(2) of the Civil Code) . Certainly, due to limited space, the subject is far from exhausted . The mere presentation – from both the objective and subjective perspective – of the types of offences whose commitment by an individual holding a right to legitime (forced heir) justifies their disinheritance by the testator would most likely fill up a separate monograph work . Consequently, the author focuses on some most debatable issues related to the subject matter .

The Penal Code presently in force provides for a “person living in actual co-habitation” and it stipulates in Article 115 § 11 the definition of “the person next of kin”. According to the invoked provision “the person next of kin shall be a spouse, ascendant, descendant, brother or sister, a relative in the same line or degree, a person being an adopted relation as well as his spouse, and also a person living in actual co-habitation.” Numerous differences and doubts arise in the doctrine and judicature when one attempts to decode the term “a person living in actual co-habitation” as it has not been strictly defined by the legislator. The results of its interpretation by way of linguistic, systematic and functional directives lead to the conclusion that the term contained in Article 115 § 11 of the Penal Code “a person living in actual co-habitation” indicates a person living with another person in such a factual relationship, where there are between them simultaneously spiritual, physical and economic bonds. It is possible to establish the existence of a relation of “living in actual co-habitation” also when the lack of one of such bonds is objectively justified. The difference of the sexes of persons living in such co-habitation is not a requisite condition to establish that they actually live in co-habitation within the meaning of Article 115 § 11 of the Penal Code.
