without a will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Article 912 of the Civil Code states that this type of succession <strong>occurs in the following cases:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When the will does not exist, it is null or invalid.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the will exists, but <strong>no heirs <\/strong>to its assets are appointed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When <strong>the condition established by the testator does not exist,<\/strong> if the heir dies or repudiates the inheritance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When the established <strong>heir cannot succeed.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To receive an inheritance without a will, <strong>a declaration of intestate heirship must be made.<\/strong> The inheritance must then be awarded before a

who succeed when there is no will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Forced heirs have the right to receive a share of the inheritance whether or not there is a will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, <strong>the heirs Ab Intestato, legal or legitimate, are determined by the Law when there is no will.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, <strong>there will be a forced heir or legitimate heir in
