Practice question: Partition and Distribution of the Estate

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

Coheirs expressly waive warranty in their partition. One knowingly conceals a superior adverse title to the parcel assigned to Lina, who is later evicted on that title. Can the concealing coheir rely solely on the waiver despite established bad faith?
  1. No; Article1096 does not give the stipulated waiver that protection in bad faith
  2. Yes; every waiver defeats fraud
  3. Yes; partition makes bad faith irrelevant
  4. Yes; only oral warranties survive
  5. Yes; Lina must bear every prior title defect
