Llegats

Llegats, also known as legacies, are a type of inheritance that is typically passed down from a deceased person to their heirs. The term "llegats" is derived from the Catalan language, which is spoken in the region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain. In Catalan law, a llegat is a specific type of inheritance that is intended to be used for a particular purpose, such as education, charity, or the maintenance of a family business. Llegats are often included in a person's will, and they can be either specific or general in nature. Specific llegats are intended for a particular individual or purpose, while general llegats are intended for a broader category of beneficiaries. The administration of llegats is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the deceased person resided, and it may involve the appointment of a trustee or executor to manage the assets. Llegats can play a significant role in the distribution of a person's estate, and they can have important implications for the financial and social well-being of the beneficiaries.
