The separation of patrimonies in the law of succession constitutes a temperament to the principle according to which the heir is bound ultra vires successionnis, i.e., beyond the forces of the succession, in an infinite manner to the debt of the deceased. Inserted into the Napoleonic Code in 1804, the technique has its foundations in Roman law, and aims to temper the theory of confusion of patrimonies by ensuring a reinforced protection of the right of pledge of the successor creditors in the transmission of the succession. The aim of this thesis is to examine whether the principle of separation of assets is really effective as a mechanism for protecting the right of lien of successors in an estate without a spouse, and if so, whether it is possible to achieve this in conjunction with the interaction of matrimonial property law. As the law currently stands, whether it is a simple right of preference implemented at their request pursuant to Article 878 of the Civil Code or a material separation of assets implemented by operation of law, the principle of separation of assets is nonetheless limited in its effects, whether or not the succession includes a spouse. This thesis will attempt to propose a means that would seem to be more effective in preserving the right of lien of the deceased debtor's creditors.
