During his lifetime, the action for nullity belongs only to the person concerned.
After his death, acts made by him, other than inter vivos gifts and wills, may only be challenged by his heirs, on the grounds of insanity of mind, in the following cases:
1° If the act itself bears evidence of a mental disorder;
2° If it was made while the person concerned was under court protection;
3° If an action was brought before his death for the purpose of opening a curatorship or guardianship or for the purpose of family habilitation or if effect has been given to the mandate for future protection.
An action for nullity is extinguished by the five-year period provided for in article 2224.
