AB This paper is divided into two different parts. In the first one, a comparative study between the Spanish and Philippine succession law is made. Our basic assumption is that both regulations are parallel, and we focus our analyses on the most relevant differences.First we will study the current Succession Law in the Philippines and in Spain from a positivist perspective, then we will carry out a deeper analysis from another perspective. This is not going to be a traditional study focused on the conflicts between the rights of the forced heirs “legitimarios”, and the liberty of the testator.We offer here a wider perspective based on a philosophic approach. In fact, we wouldlike to contribute something new to the traditional academic debate. Therefore, wewill dive deeper into the philosophical arguments to try to find reasons to maintain orreduce or remove the forced shares from our Civil Codes. This research is connectedwith the need of the Law to act as a tool to achieve certain purposes. In fact, CivilLaw could be only a mechanism to solve conflicts and to apply the “ius suum quiquetribuendi” principle. However, the lawmaker should also establish the framework inwhich a society may evolve. This study seeks to identify this framework in the sphereof succession law.
