1. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 1024/2537 (1994)

   An estate inventory under §1729 is valid if prepared in the presence of at least two interested-person witnesses; their refusal to sign does not invalidate the inventory.

   The co-administrators prepared the estate inventory and presented it to the interested persons, who refused to sign it because of an unrelated dispute. The court held the inventory was validly made in the presence of at least two interested-person witnesses under §1729 paragraph two; the refusal of witnesses to sign did not invalidate the inventory.

2. Arrêt de la Cour suprême n° 91/2534 (1991)

   Deliberate failure to prepare the estate inventory within the statutory period, evidencing potential harm to the estate, is good cause for removal of the administrator under §1727.

   The objector-administrator deliberately failed to prepare the estate inventory within the statutory period and showed conduct that could cause harm to the estate and other heirs. The court held this was sufficient ground to remove the administrator under §1727, and appointed the two applicants (children of the deceased) in their place.
