Spanish term

reservas o legitimas

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general) from a will
A clause from a will:

"En cuanto a las reservas o legitimas que en cualquier caso pudiera establecer forzosamente la ley aplicable a su sucesion, la Testadora ordena que su pago o complemento esta efectuado con bienes y derechos dejados al efecto...."

I understand 'legitimas' to be entitlements (parts of the will) which by law should go to certain persons, but I am not sure about 'reservas'.

I am also not totally sure about 'complemento' in this case - I think it means 'given' because it refers to non-monetary components of the will, which the law may require to be given (rather than paid) to certain persons.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Las personas pueden disponer de sus bienes pero esta libertad no es completa: Los ascendiente y descendientes tienen derecho a una parte llamada reserva hereditaria. La parte de que puede disponer el testador se llama cuota disponible que varía de por lo menos una cuarta parte y a lo más de las tras cuartas partes. Cuando no hay herederos reservatarios, todos los bienes son disponibles libremente. Esta es una solución entre el derecho individual para disponer y el derecho familiar.
