Practice question
A child is validly disinherited for a proven statutory cause and has descendants who are themselves capable of succeeding. The disinherited child insists that if those descendants receive the protected legitime, the child must retain usufruct and administration of it. What does Article 923 provide?
- The descendants take the disinherited person's place as to the legitime, but the disinherited parent has no usufruct or administration of that property
- All descendants are automatically disinherited too
- The disinherited parent alone receives the legitime
- The executor becomes the descendants' owner
- The parent's usufruct is mandatory
