Practice question
A parent pays an adult child's personal debt. The child later succeeds with other compulsory heirs, and no applicable dispensation is established. How does Article 1069 treat the payment?
- The sum paid to satisfy the child's debt is brought to collation.
- Debt payments are always excluded as ordinary education.
- The sum automatically becomes an estate debt owed to the child.
- Only the creditor must collate it.
- The payment disappears from the computation solely because it was made before death.
