De l'Ouverture des Successions et de la Saisine des Héritiers
Titre XV:
Des Successions
(On Successions)
Chapitre I:
De l'Ouverture des Successions et de la Saisine des Héritiers
(On the Opening of Successions and the Seisin of Heirs)
La succession est ouverte par la mort naturelle.
Life lesson:
Death opens the succession — there is no other trigger. The moment of death is the moment of inheritance.
Notes:
Opening of succession: by natural death only. No civil death provision in Code Henry (unlike Code Napoléon which also included civil death). Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 718.
