Section 696

696. Where the deceased leaves no spouse or relatives within the degrees of succession, or where all the successors have renounced the succession, or where no successor is known or claims the succession, the State takes of right the property of the succession situated in Québec.
Any testamentary disposition which would render this right nugatory without otherwise providing for the devolution of the property is without effect.
[1991, c. 64, a. 696].
