Bequeath means to leave a will to the heirs after the death. And what is a will?
A will is the expression of the wish of a citizen for the disposition of property belonging to him in case of death.
A citizen has the right at his discretion to leave by will any property to any persons, to determine the ownership share of heirs in the inheritance in any manner, to deprive heirs by statute of inheritance, to include in the will other dispositions provided for by the rules of the present Code on inheritance, to revoke, amend, or supplement a will that has been made. This is freedom of making a will.
Deprivation of Inheritance by will
A testator has the right, without explanation of the reasons to deprive of inheritance one, several, or all the heirs by statute.
Form of a will
A will must be made in written form with an indication of the place and time of its compilation, signed by the testator by his own hand, and notarially certified. Nonobservance of the rules of Paragraph 1 of the present Article shall entail the invalidity of the will.
