De l'Acceptation et de la Répudiation des Successions

Succession Law
Titre XV: Des Successions (On Successions)
Chapitre V: De l'Acceptation et de la Répudiation des Successions (On the Acceptance and Repudiation of Successions)

On ne peut représenter un héritier qui a renoncé; si le renonçant est seul héritier de son degré, ou si tous ses cohéritiers renoncent, les enfans viennent de leur chef et succèdent par tête.

Life lesson: You cannot represent someone who renounced — but their children may come in their own right, inheriting per capita if all at the same degree renounced.
Notes: No representation of renouncing heir. If sole heir or all co-heirs renounce: children inherit in own right (de leur chef), per capita. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 787.
