Practice question
A will generically remits the legatee’s debts. The legatee incurs a new debt to the testator after the will. With no further specific testamentary provision, is that later debt included merely because it exists at death?
- No; Article 937’s generic remission covers debts existing at execution, not subsequent ones
- Yes, every generic remission covers future debt forever
- Yes, Article 935 eliminates every distinction
- Only the debtor’s wishes matter
- The later debt is automatically a donation
