Des Dispositions testamentaires

Succession Law
Titre XVI: Des Donations entre-vifs et des Testamens (On Inter Vivos Donations and Testaments)
Chapitre IV: Des Dispositions testamentaires (On Testamentary Dispositions)

L'incapacité de l'héritier institué ou du légataire, ni leur refus de recueillir la succession d'un testateur, n'empêchent point l'effet de la révocation faite dans un testament postérieur.

Life lesson: The revocation stands even if the new heir or legatee cannot or will not take — the prior will remains dead.
Notes: Revocation survives lapse: incapacity or refusal of subsequent heir/legatee does not revive the revoked prior testament. Revocation is independent. Cf. Code Napoléon Art. 1037.
