Claims concerning legacies in favour of a region or regional public establishment, made by the legal heirs, are admissible with the Minister of the Interior, within six months of the opening of the will. They shall include the surnames, first names and addresses of the claimants, their order and degree of relationship to the deceased, as well as the grounds for the claim.
The Minister of the Interior shall inform the president of the regional council or the representative of the legatee establishment of these claims and shall issue the claimants with an acknowledgement of receipt.
Where the claims are made after the expiry of the time limit mentioned in the first paragraph or emanate from persons other than the legal heirs, the acknowledgement of receipt shall state that they are inadmissible.
