Cap. 16 Art. 1756When acceptance may be made after donor’s death.

(1) An acceptance made after the death of the donor shall be ineffectual, except in the following cases:

(a) when the donor has reserved to himself, during his lifetime, the use or usufruct of the thing given;

(b) when the donation is to be carried into execution after the death of the donor;

(c) when the donor dies within three months from the day of the donation.

(2) In each of the aforesaid cases, the donee may, until the expiration of a time to be fixed by the court upon the demand of any interested party, validly accept the donation which has not been revoked by the donor; such time may not exceed one month, but may for just cause be extended by the court to another month.
