Abstract
Sobre la mancomunidad testamentaria y el poder testatorio han existido de antaño estigmas en torno a que su puesta en práctica vulnera lo que la doctrina ha reconocido como caracteres fundamentales del negocio jurídico testamentario:
por una parte, su carácter personalísimo y, por el otro, la prohibición de la testamentifacción
conjunta. En este contexto se reflexiona sobre la utilidad de ambas figuras, y las ventajas que reporta en los ordenamientos jurídicos que las permiten, a la par de los riesgos que su utilización genera para los testadores y para la seguridad jurídica en general. Se enfatiza en la exégesis de la normativa cubana y su implicación para
la práctica notarial. Como conclusión se proponen alternativas que disminuyen los riesgos ante su utilización y potencian una mayor autonomía de la voluntad de las personas en sede sucesoria
Traditional stigmas have attached to testamentary commonwealth and testamentary power, since their implementation violates aspects of testamentary law recognized in the doctrine as fundamental: on the one hand, the highly personal character of testation and on the other, the prohibition of joint testation. In this context, we reflect on the utility of these legal mechanisms, and the advantages that they provide in legal systems where they are allowed, along with the risks that their use generates for testators and for legal safety in general. Emphasis is placed on exegesis of Cuban legislation and its implications for notarial practice. In conclusion, alternatives are proposed that reduce the risks involved in their use and promote a greater autonomy for people to express their will in matters affecting their legacy
