Right of Disclaimance of Inheritance


1. An heir may renounce the inheritance in favor of other persons (Article 1158) or without specifying the persons in whose favor he renounces the inherited property.

Renouncing the inheritance is not allowed when inheriting escheated property.

2. An heir may renounce the inheritance within the period established for accepting the inheritance (Article 1154), including in cases where he has already accepted the inheritance.

If an heir has performed actions indicating factual acceptance of the inheritance (paragraph 2 of Article 1153), the court may, upon the application of this heir, declare him as having renounced the inheritance and after the expiration of the established period, if it finds the reasons for missing the deadline to be valid.

3. A renunciation of the inheritance cannot subsequently be changed or revoked.

4. In cases where the heir is a minor, incapacitated, or partially capable person, renouncing the inheritance is allowed only with prior approval from the guardianship and custody authority.
