La promesse - l'acte juridique précédant l'exercice de l'option successorale
The Promise-The Legal Act Preceding the Exercise of the Succession Option

Summary/Abstract: Is the promise a preliminary act to the declaration of inheritance or is it an act included in the notion (in the concept) of declaration of inheritance? In other words, could acceptance of the promise by the beneficiary be equivalent to acceptance of the inheritance by the heir? In order to answer this question, we attempted to establish, like Ariadne's thread, the progression of the concept of promise, which we connected to the temporal condition. Indeed, it is Cronos who establishes the legal acts that can be concluded inter vivos and mortis causa.Is the promise a preliminary act to the declaration of inheritance or is it an act included in the notion (in the concept) of declaration of inheritance?
