SUCCESSION 145
87, the lawful expenses incurred before the acceptance or
renunciation are borne by the succession.
When the acceptance with benefit of inventory, or the
renunciation, takes place only after the period expires, the
court may decide that those expenses will also be chargeable
to the succession.
95 Any interested person may apply to the court to have
seals affixed, an inventory made, a sequestrator appointed, or
any other order rendered which is necessary to preserve his
rights.
96 Conservatory measures benefit all the creditors and
heirs of the deceased and create no right of preference among
them.
Saving the case provided for in Article 131, when the
moveable property of the succession has been the object either
of conservatory measures or of seizures or other measures of
execution, no payment may be made out of the moveable
property to the creditors and legatees of the deceased before
the expiry of three months from the day the measure was
ordered.
In the event of alienation of moveable property, the
right of the creditors and legatees may be exercised against the
price as long as it remains unpaid.
97 The costs of seals, inventory and accounting are chargeable
to the succession.
The same applies to costs of security to be furnished by
the beneficiary heir, when so ordered unless he is guilty of a
fault.
98 Any heir or creditor may consult the inventory and may
obtain a copy of it at his own expense.
