La répudiation du legs profite à celui qui le doit, si la disposition ne révèle pas une intention contraire de son auteur.
1 Where an overindebted heir has disclaimed an inheritance in order to withhold it from his or her creditors, the latter or the bankruptcy administrators may challenge the disclaimer within six months unless their claims are secured.
2 If their challenge is upheld, the inheritance is placed in official liquidation.
3 Any surplus serves first to satisfy the challenging creditors and any balance remaining after redemption of the other debts passes to the heirs in whose favour the disclaimer was made.
