Within two months of the summons, the heir must take sides or request an extension of time from the judge where he has not been able to complete the inventory begun or where he justifies other serious and legitimate reasons. This period is suspended from the date of the request for an extension until the decision of the judge hearing the case.
If the heir has not taken a position by the end of the two-month period or the additional period granted, he is deemed to have accepted the inventory outright.
