Articles 1261-1265 of the Civil Code provide for five stages of inheritance according to the law, which are called for inheritance alternately in the order determined by the legislation.
first of all the right to inheritance by law is given to the testator's children, including those conceived during the testator's life and born after his death, the second spouse and parents.
In second order the right to inherit according to the law belongs to the testator's own brothers and sisters, his grandmother and grandfather, both from the father's side and from the mother's side.
Thirdly, the right to inherit by law belongs to the deceased's uncle and aunt.
In the fourth place, persons who lived with the testator in the same family for at least five years prior to the opening of the inheritance have the right to inheritance by law.
In the fifth place, other relatives of the testator up to the sixth degree of kinship inclusively have the right to inherit, and relatives of a closer degree of kinship exclude relatives of a further degree of kinship from the right to inherit. The degree of kinship is determined by the number of births separating the relative from the testator. The birth of the testator himself is not included in this number.
Also, fifthly the right to inheritance is granted by law to dependents of the testator who were not members of his family.
