# Art. 1725. Method of making partition

These partitions may be made by act inter vivos or by testament. If a testator has designated the quantum or value of his estate which he bequeaths to a legatee either by formula or by specific sum, he may expressly delegate to his executor the authority to select assets to satisfy the quantum or value.
