De l'Acceptation et de la Répudiation des Successions
Titre XV:
Des Successions
(On Successions)
Chapitre V:
De l'Acceptation et de la Répudiation des Successions
(On the Acceptance and Repudiation of Successions)
Une succession peut être acceptée purement et simplement, ou sous bénéfice d'inventaire.
Life lesson:
Two ways to accept an inheritance: unconditionally, taking all debts with all assets — or under benefit of inventory, limiting your liability to the estate's value.
Notes:
Two modes of acceptance: pure and simple (unlimited liability) or under benefit of inventory (limited liability). Foundational choice for heirs. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 774.
