Summary/Abstract: In Romania, the situation of the surviving spouse has undergone several changes starting from the principle that reserved heirs follow the bloodline consequently his inheritance rights were limited, until the New Civil Code when his reservation is just and clearly defined. This change led to new problems, namely the forced execution of the surviving spouse. The most common problems in practice are those related to the division of the inheritance and the exit from the indivision in the situation where de cujus is the debtor.
