Abstract
La capacidad jurídica de los menores de edad para otorgar testamento es una de las instituciones que se incluyen en el ordenamiento civil cubano a raíz de la promulgación del nuevo Código de las Familias, sin embargo no es algo novedoso pues tiene sus orígenes desde el Derecho Romano. Constituye un tema polémico la reducción de la edad para realizar este acto jurídico (12 años), es por ello que la presente investigación aborda el devenir histórico de esta figura hasta la actualidad para su mejor entendimiento. Se abordan los fundamentos jurídicos, históricos y teóricos que sustentan el Derecho de sucesión en el mundo y en Cuba haciendo un análisis de la importancia que tiene el testamento como acto jurídico donde la persona dispone cómo quedarán sus bienes después de la muerte y la tendencia en el mundo actual de otorgarle ese derecho a los menores de edad, partiendo de uno de los principios recogidos.

The legal, historical and theoretical foundations that support the Law of succession in the world and in Cuba are addressed, making an analysis of the importance of the will as a legal act where the person establishes how their assets will remain after death and the trend in today's world of granting that right to minors, based on one of the principles collected.
