A will shall be valid, even though it does not contain the designation of an heir, or if the latter does not include all of the property, and even though the person designated does not accept the inheritance or is disqualified to inherit.
In such cases, the testamentary provisions, made in accordance with the laws, shall be complied with, and the remainder of the estate shall go to the legal heirs.
