ABSTRACT

This article is an analysis and refl ection on the legal aspects around the stable union, verifying the most recent

changes in the legislation, as well as the legislative evolution of this institute, in particular what has been fore-

seen regarding the property rights in case of dissolution in life and in case of death of one of the companions.

To this end, the work adopted an exploratory bibliographic method, focusing on the provisions of the Federal

Constitution of 1988, the Civil Code and civil procedure, and the special laws that regulate the subject. The

relevance of this research is evident, in view of the constant social, cultural and political transformations ex-

perienced by the family unit, which, it can be said, had its concept expanded on several levels. Added to this,

it is extremely necessary to academically explore the concept and general provisions of the stable union, as it

prepares students for the reality of civil and family demands that they may assume in the future in the practice

of law.
