Cap. 16 Art. 867Renouncing heir may still accept vacant inheritance.

(1) An heir who has renounced an inheritance may yet accept such inheritance provided -

(a) the right of acceptance shall not, in his regard, have lapsed by prescription; and

(b) the inheritance shall not have been already accepted by other heirs.

(2) Nevertheless, such acceptance shall not operate so as to prejudice any right which may have been acquired by third parties over the property of the inheritance either by prescription, or by virtue of acts validly made with the curator of the vacant inheritance.
