Questão jurídica principal
Whether the 1964 agreement remained effective under the new matrimonial property regime and how the disputed real estate had to be classified.
Decisão extraída
The agreement was not void; the real estate transferred in replacement of the wife's marital contributions remained her acquired own property under the participation-in-acquests regime.
Fundamentação extraída
The transition rules automatically moved the spouses from old unity-of-property to the new regime in 1988. The 1964 deed was not limited to a purely old-law recognition of contributions; it also contained an onerous transfer of property, which retained meaning under the new law and justified allocation to the wife's own property mass.
