Civil Law, 2019 Bar — Question B.14-b

ESSAY

H, however, expressly disinherited Z on the ground that the latter once filed a civil case against him in order to collect a particular sum of money he previously owed Z. (b) Assuming that the disinheritance of Z was improper, how will it affect the institution of heirs and testamentary dispositions made in H's will? Explain. (3%)
