Claiming descent from a deceased person may only be within an action concerning a right or property against a legally proper defendant. The reason for this. - An action for correction of a name without seeking this within another right forming the subject of a genuine dispute asserted against the deceased's heirs. Inadmissible. Example. - The judgment's dismissal of the action for substantive reasons renders it defective and requires its modification to a ruling of inadmissibility. - A ruling of inadmissibility of the action accords in its result with a ruling dismissing it.
