Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the deadline to renounce an inheritance?
- Three months from learning of the death for statutory heirs; missing the deadline is deemed acceptance.
- Who can file a simulated-transfer action?
- Heirs whose reserved shares are infringed may bring an action for cancellation of title and re-registration against transfers contrary to the deceased's genuine intent.
- In what form must a will be drawn up?
- Wills may be official (before a notary), holographic or oral; each form has its own formal requirements.
