None of the proceedings herein provided for shall prejudice the rights of creditors to proceed against an heir who accepts his share in the succession, nor debar heirs from exercising at the proper time and in the proper manner the right to deliberate or to accept the estate with the benefit of inventory. When applying for judicial administration, the heirs may demand the legal period of time for deliberating, or may state that they accept the inheritance with benefit of inventory. In any case the inventory, when filed with the court, shall be open to inspection in order that the heirs may examine it and decide on the course best suited to their interests.
