Chapter 3: Disinheritance

Section 1608. Disinheritance

A de cujus may disinherit any of his statutory heirs only by an express declaration of intention,

  1. by will
  2. by writing deposited with the competent official.

The identity of the disinherited heir must be clearly stated.

However, when a person has distributed all his estate by will, all his statutory heirs who are not beneficiaries under the will are deemed to be disinherited.

Section 1609. Disinheritance may be Revoked

A declaration of disinheritance may be revoked.

If the disinheritance has been made by will, the revocation may be made only by will; but if the disinheritance has been made in writing deposited with the competent official, such revocation may be made either from prescribed in Section 1608 (1) or (2).
