The analysis of the position of the Justices of the Supreme Justice Court is proposed regarding the succession dispute of the surviving married/joined partner through the partial communion matrimony property scheme with the descendants of the deceased in five Special Appeals founded on the theme from the entry into force of the Civil Code of 2002 until the 1st of August of 2019. The methodology was founded on the inductive method, and on the techniques of bibliographical revision, templating, referencing and descriptive and comparative analysis. The controversy hinges over the interpretation of the first item of article 1.829 of the Civil Code, which links the succession dispute of the married/joined partner through the partial communion marital property scheme to the existence of private property left by the deceased without establishing from which part of the inheritance he/she would inherit. The legal text admits different interpretative currents due to its obscurity. Among the analyzed rulings, in Special Appeals 1.117.563-SP (2009), and 1.377.084-MG (2013), the position that gives the married/joined partner the right to succession dispute under the common goods that make up the inheritance of the deceased was adopted. In Special Appeals 974.241-DF (2011), and 1.368.123-SP (2015), there was judgement in favor of allowing for succession rights of the surviving spouse only regarding the private property of the inheritance’s author. In 2019, in Special Appeals 1.617.650-RS and 1.617.501-RS, the Third Panel Justices decided unanimously that the joined partner through the partial communion matrimony property scheme inherits merely from the deceased’s private property. After a long debate regarding this subject between the Third and the Fourth Panel Justices, there has been an agreement on this theme.
