Article                 846.              Heirs              instituted                    without


        designation  of  shares  shall  inherit  in  equal


        parts. (765)




        Article 854. The preterition or omission of one,



        some, or all of the compulsory heirs in the direct


        line, whether living at the time of the execution


        of  the  will  or  born  after  the  death  of  the



        testator, shall annul the institution of heir; but


        the devises and legacies shall be valid insofar as


        they are not inofficious.




        If  the  omitted  compulsory  heirs  should  die



        before  the  testator,  the  institution  shall  be


        effectual,  without  prejudice  to  the  right  of


        representation. (814a)
