The decision invalidating an heir certificate is not subject to appeal. It must be brought to the attention of the public by insertion in a newspaper authorised to receive legal notices. It comes into force one month after it is published in the newspaper.
The invalidation decision may be pre-noted in the land register and entered in the commercial register at the request of a notary. These entries are cancelled automatically when the property or business is transcribed in the name of the true creditor or his successor in title.
