All holographic or sealed wills shall, before being executed, be deposited with a notary. The will shall be opened if it is sealed. The civil law notary shall immediately draw up a report of the opening and condition of the will, specifying the circumstances of the deposit. In the case provided for in article 1006, the notary shall verify the conditions of the legatee’s seisin with regard to the universal nature of his vocation and the absence of reserved heirs. He will mention these verifications in the minutes. The will and the report will be kept in the minutes of the depositary.
Within one month of the date of the report, the notary will send a copy of the report and a figurative copy of the will to the clerk of the judicial court of the place where the estate is opened, who will acknowledge receipt of these documents and keep them in his minutes.
Within one month of such receipt, any interested party may object to the exercise of his rights by the universal legatee seized by operation of law by virtue of the same article 1006. In the event of opposition, the legatee shall be sent to take possession. The conditions for the application of this paragraph are determined by decree of the Conseil d’Etat.
