Article 1231 of the RA Civil Code provides possibility to renounce from succession for the benefit of another person. In case of renunciation from succession, an heir shall have the right to indicate that he or she renounces it for the benefit of heirs by will or heirs by law of any priority, including those who inherit by the right of representation.
However there are cases where it shall not be permitted to renounce for the benefit of other person:
(1) the property bequeathed by will, where all the property of a testator is bequeathed to the heirs designated by him or her;
(2) of a compulsory portion in the succession;
(3) where a secondary heir is designated to the heir.
