Members of the medical and pharmacy professions, as well as medical auxiliaries who have provided care to a person during the illness from which he or she dies, may not benefit from inter vivos or testamentary dispositions made in their favour during the course of the illness.
Legal representatives for the protection of adults and the legal entities on whose behalf they exercise their functions may not similarly benefit from inter vivos or testamentary dispositions that the persons whose protection they provide would have made in their favour regardless of the date of the gift.
The following are excepted:
1° Remunerative dispositions made on a special basis, having regard to the capacity of the disposing person and the services rendered;
2° Universal dispositions, in the case of kinship up to and including the fourth degree, provided however that the deceased has no heirs in the direct line; unless the person in whose favour the disposition was made is himself one of those heirs.
The same rules will be observed with regard to the minister of religion.
