In !French law, denotes the right of succession which arises to one upon the death, whether natural or civil, of another. Such successor must not be either as yet uneonceived, or a child tion viable, or one civilly dead; and he must also be clear of certain moral delinquencies, for which see code civil, 727. Bastards have no rights of succession; but in case their parent leaves legitimate offspring, they have one-third of the goods which, as a legitimate child, they would have received; and if the parent leaves no legitimate offspring, but ascendants or collaterals (being brothers or sisters), then onehalf; and if the parent leaves neither legitimate offspring nor ascendants nor collaterals (being brothers or sisters), then three-fourths"; and in case of a total failure of inheritable relations, then the whole. The widow surviving takes the succession where the parent leaves no inheritable relations or bastards, and failing her, the state. Brown.
