Arabic original
أ- إذا اقر الميت بالنسب على نفسه لا يتعدى هذا الاقرار الى الورثة ، ما لم يستوف
شروط صحته.
ب - وإذا اقر بالنسب على غيره استحق المقر له التركة إذا كان مجهول النسب ، ولم
يثبت نسبه من الغير ، ولم يرجع المقر عن اقراره.
ويشترط في هذه الحالة ان يكون المقر له حيـا وقـت مـوت المقر ، او وقت الحكم
باعتباره ميتا ، والا يقوم به مانع من موانع الارث.
ج - وإذا اقر الورثة بوارث ، ولم يثبت النسب بهذا الاقرار ، شارك المقر في استحقاقه
دون سواه ، ان كان لا يحجبه المقر ، ولا يستحق شيئا ان كان يحجبه.Ask about this article
