CC 1624 - Mention of cause for disinherison; burden of proof; reconciliation
Art. 1624. Mention of cause for disinherison; burden of proof; reconciliation
The testator shall express in the instrument the reason, facts, or circumstances that constitute the cause for the disinherison; otherwise, the disinherison is null. The reason, facts, or circumstances expressed in the instrument shall be presumed to be true. The presumption may be rebutted by a preponderance of the evidence, but the unsupported testimony of the disinherited heir shall not be sufficient to overcome the presumption.
