Section1630.As long as an heir of one of the classes specified in section 1629 is still alive or uninterruptedly represented, the heirs of the lower classes have no right in the estate of the dead person at all.
However, the provision of the previous paragraph shall become inapplicable in the specific event where any descendant is still alive or represented, as the case may be, and the father or mother is still alive, in which event the father or mother shall be entitled to a share as if being a heir of the child degree.
Section1631.Amongst the descendants of different degrees, only the children of the estate owner, who are closest in degree, have the right to receive the estate. The descendants of the lower degrees may receive the estate only by virtue of the right of representation.
