Succession and Testament – Partition property

Art. 1725. Method of making partition. These partitions may be made by act inter vivas or by testament. If a testator has designated the quantum or value of his estate which he bequeaths to a legatee either by formula or by specific sum, he may expressly delegate to his executor the authority to select assets to satisfy the quantum or value.

Art. 1727. Testamentary partitions, formalities. Those made by testament must be made in the forms prescribed for acts of that kind, and are subject to the same rules.

Art. 1729. Necessity for partition to include all descendants. If the partition, whether inter vivas or by testament, be not made amongst all the children living at the time of the decease and the descendants of those predeceased, the partition shall be null and void for the whole; the child or descendant who had no part in it, may require a new partition in legal form.
