1. Upon the death of a testator, the beneficiary of the Will may accept or renounce it in whole or in part within sixty (60) days from the date on which he is notified of the Will. The same shall be subject to the following rules: a. Where the beneficiary is a minor, an unborn child, or a person placed under interdiction, the acceptance or renunciation of the Will shall be effected by the guardian, subject to the approval of the competent court. b. Where the beneficiary is a public or private entity, the acceptance or renunciation of the Will shall be effected by the legal representative of that entity. 2. Where the beneficiary dies before he accepts or renounces the Will, the right to accept or renounce it shall pass to his heirs. In case he leaves no heirs, the Will shall lapse. 3. Where the beneficiary is an unnamed person, no acceptance or renunciation shall be required.
