276 PROPERTY
372 A testamentary hypothec affects the property which the
testator indicates.
It cannot be general.
373 A testamentary hypothec affects the property at the time
of death, but it takes effect with respect to third parties only
when it is published.
374 Publication of a testamentary hypothec is effected by
registration of the will and, if the property is not sufficiently
designated, by registration of the declaration provided for in
Article 381 and, where the law so requires, by the putting in
possession.
