Each co-heir is deemed to have succeeded alone and immediately to all the effects included in his or her lot, or to have fallen to him or her on licitation, and never to have had ownership of the other effects of the succession.
The same applies to property which has fallen to him or her by any other act having the effect of bringing the indivision to an end. No distinction is made according to whether the act causes indivision to cease in whole or in part, in respect of certain property or in respect of certain heirs only.
However, acts validly performed either by virtue of a mandate from the co-partitioners, or by virtue of a judicial authorisation, retain their effects whatever the attribution of the property which was the subject of them at the time of partition.
