# Art. 1500. Forced portion in cases of judicial divestment, disinherison, or renunciation of succession rights

When a forced heir renounces his legitime, is declared unworthy, or is disinherited, his legitime becomes disposable and the forced portion is reduced accordingly. The legitime of each remaining forced heir is not affected.
