The Tribunal da Relação do Porto dismissed the appeal regarding the legitimacy of heirs to claim inheritance restitution. The appellant argued that only specific heirs could initiate such actions, while the court found that any heir possesses the standing to demand the return of assets belonging to the estate from third parties. Consequently, the court ruled that the procedural requirement of legitimacy was met by any heir, allowing the claim against strangers to proceed.
