Practice question
The deceased expressly dispensed with collation of a donation. Does Article 1062 make that donation immune from reduction for inofficiousness?
- Yes, express dispensation always defeats every legitime.
- Yes, the donor can abolish compulsory succession by that sentence alone.
- Yes, even if the donation is proved inofficious.
- Yes, because collation and reduction are necessarily identical.
- No; the article preserves reduction when the donation is inofficious.
