876. In every case where the advice of a family council is taken with a view to making an appointment, the person elected must, if he is present, state his grounds of exemption then and there, under penalty of being foreclosed; when the council is presided over by the judge or prothonotary, any such objection is decided without delay; if the council is presided over by a notary or another person authorized for such purpose, the objection is immediately referred to the judge or prothonotary for decision.
If the person elected is not present, he must, under penalty of being foreclosed, state his grounds of exemption to the judge or prothonotary, or to the person presiding over the council, at the latest five days after having been notified of his election, in order that the matter may be decided in conformity with the preceding paragraph.
