HB 225 Original 2022 Regular Session Gregory Miller
Abstract: Repeals the ascendant's right to inherit movables donated to a descendant.
Present law (C.C. Arts. 897 and 898) provides that ascendants inherit the immovable property given
by them to their descendants who died without descendants, subject to all mortgages which the
descendant may have imposed on them.
Present law further provides that ascendants inheriting such property are bound to contribute to the
payment of the debts of the succession, in proportion to the value of the objects given.
Proposed law repeals present law.
(Repeals C.C. Arts. 897 and 898)
