Civil Code (Cap. 16), article 799
799. (1) The children or descendants of a person excluded as
unworthy shall not be excluded by reason of the unworthiness of
their parent or ascendant, whether they succeed in their own right
or whether, in order to succeed, they have to stand, under the rule
of representation, in the place of the parent or ascendant so
excluded.
(2) Nevertheless, the father may in no case claim, over such
inheritance, either the usufruct or the administration which the law
grants to parents over the property of their children.
