Des Enfans naturels

Family Law
Titre VI: De la Paternité et de la Filiation (On Paternity and Filiation)
Chapitre III: Des Enfans naturels (On Natural Children)

Le père et la mère ont la faculté de légitimer même des enfans décédés qui ont laissé postérité ; dans ce cas, les descendans de ces derniers héritent des droits de leurs père et mère, décédés.

Life lesson: Legitimation reaches beyond death itself. A parent may claim a child who has already passed, so that the grandchildren may inherit what their parent could not.
Notes: Posthumous legitimation: parents can legitimate deceased natural children, transferring inheritance rights to grandchildren. Extraordinary provision ensuring that the accident of timing does not permanently disinherit a family line.
