652. The creditors of a successor who renounces may, if the renunciation is prejudicial to their rights, apply within one year to the court for a declaration that the renunciation may not be set up against them, and accept the succession in the place and stead of their debtor.
The acceptance has effect only in their favour, and only up to the amount of their claim. It has no effect in favour of the successor who renounced.
