1Succession is the mode of acquisition where a person's property, rights, and obligations are transmitted after death to another or others by will or by operation of law.
Succession
2A person whose property is transmitted through succession, whether or not he left a will, is called a
Decedent
3A decedent who left a will is called a
Testator
4A person called to succession either by a will or by operation of law is called a
Heir
5All the property, rights, and obligations of a person that are not extinguished by death are called
Inheritance
6The rights to succession are transmitted from the moment of the death of the
Decedent
7The succession that results from the designation of an heir made in a legally executed will is called
Testamentary succession
8The succession that takes place when a person dies without leaving a valid will is called
Legal or intestate succession
9The succession that is effected partly by will and partly by operation of law is called
Mixed succession
10A will acknowledged by the testator and witnesses before a notary public is called a
Notarial will
11A will entirely written, dated, and signed by the hand of the testator is called a
Holographic will
12The proceeding that determines whether a will was validly executed and whether the testator had testamentary capacity is called
Probate
13The part of the testator's property that cannot be disposed of because the law reserves it for certain heirs is called
Legitime
14Heirs to whom the law reserves a portion of the estate are called
Compulsory heirs
15The compulsory heirs who are children and descendants with respect to their legitimate parents and ascendants are the
Legitimate children and descendants
16In default of legitimate children and descendants, the compulsory heirs are the
Legitimate parents and ascendants
17The surviving husband or wife of the decedent who is legally married to the decedent is the
Widow or widower / surviving legal spouse
18Children recognized by law as natural children and natural children by legal fiction are included among the
Compulsory heirs
19Children conceived or born of a marriage that is void from the beginning are children included by
Legal fiction
20Children conceived after the annulment of a voidable marriage are included among children recognized by
Legal fiction
21Succession based on the presumed will of the decedent is called
Intestate succession
22The order of preference in intestate succession based on presumed love and affection is
Descendants, ascendants, then collaterals
23Legitimate children, adopted children, and illegitimate children belong to the
Descending direct line
24Parents and other ascendants belong to the
Ascending direct line
25Brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces, and other relatives in the side line belong to the
Collateral line
26The rule that the relative nearest in degree excludes the more distant relatives, subject to the right of representation, is the
General rule in intestate succession
27When descendants inherit directly from the decedent, they belong to the
Direct descending line
28When parents and other ascendants inherit from the decedent, they belong to the
Direct ascending line
29Legal or intestate succession takes place when a person dies without a
Will
30Legal or intestate succession also takes place when the decedent's will is
Void or has subsequently lost its validity
31When a will does not dispose of all the testator's property, legal succession applies to the property that was
Not disposed of
32When the instituted heir cannot inherit and there is no substitution or right of accretion, succession may take place by
Operation of law

Incapable of becoming an heir

41The right by which a representative is raised by fiction of law to the place and degree of the person represented and acquires the rights the latter would have received is called
Right of representation
42Under Article 970, the right of representation is a right created by
Fiction of law
43The representative is called to the succession by
Law, not by the person represented
44A representative succeeds the person whom the represented person would have
Succeeded
45The right of representation takes place in the direct
Descending line
46The right of representation never takes place in the direct
Ascending line
47In the collateral line, representation takes place in favor of the children of
Brothers or sisters, whether of full or half blood
48In the collateral line, representation may take place in favor of
Nephews and nieces
49Under the stated rule, representation in the collateral line does not extend to
Grandnephews and grandnieces
50For representation to take place, the representative must be capable of
Succeeding the decedent
51When an estate is divided by representation, the division is made
Per stirpes
52Under per stirpes distribution, representatives cannot inherit more than what the person they represent would have inherited if that person were
Living or capable of inheriting
53When children of one or more brothers or sisters survive together with their uncles or aunts, they may inherit by
Representation
54When the children of the brothers or sisters are the only survivors, they inherit in
Equal portions
55A person may represent a person whose inheritance he has
Renounced
56Renouncing one inheritance does not necessarily prevent a person from inheriting through
Representation in another succession
57Heirs who repudiate their share may not be
Represented
