Article 330 of Jaafari Personal Status Law

English translation

If an owner, during his death illness, gives some of his property as a gift and bequeaths another part, then dies, both shall take effect if the one-third is sufficient for both. The same shall apply if it is insufficient for both but the heirs ratify them. If they do not ratify them, both shall be taken out of the one-third, beginning first with the immediately effective disposition; if anything remains, it shall be applied to what he bequeathed.
Arabic original
إذا وهب المالك في مرض موته بعض أمواله وأوصى ببعض آخر ثم مات نفذا جميعا إذا وفى الثلث بهما وكذا إذا لم يف بهما ولكن أمضاهما الورثة، وإن لم يمضوهما أخرجا معا من الثلث ويبدأ أولا بالمنجزة فإن بقي شيء صرف فيما أوصى به.
