Quod Deus Opt. Max. bene vertat: Ex decreto et authoritate amplissimi Iurisconsultorum Ordinis in inclyta & celeberrima Basiliensium Academia, pro insigniis & privilegiis Doctoralibus in U.I. consequendis, De Successionibus ab Intestato & cognationis gradibus, eorumque computatione, subsequentes Conclusiones

according to the number of persons, the nephews are invited.

LVIII.

After full brothers and sisters, and the children of these, brothers and sisters connected on one side, and the descendants of these, are rightly admitted.

LIX.

Consanguineous siblings related through the father, and their children, are preferred in goods that the deceased acquired from the father and his line; uterine siblings related through the mother are preferred in those he had from the mother or on account of the mother: the rest being divided equally.

LX.

In fiefs, consanguineous siblings succeed equally with full siblings, even together with them by head, and the children of brothers succeed with them by line of descent: but uterine siblings do not. In new fiefs, however, a brother does not become heir to a brother, even if they were invested together.

LXI.

The succession of an adopted person does not extend to adoptive brothers, that is, the children of the adoptive father, or other relatives: just as natural brothers, though joined by paternal origin, do not succeed to each other, nor to other brothers born of legitimate marriage.

LXII.

Natural brothers only, and those commonly sought born of illicit intercourse, connected through the mother, are legitimate successors to each other, whether the mother conceived them all from one man or different lovers.

LXIII.

Thus, those legitimated by subsequent marriage, although they embrace the inheritance of brothers and other relatives entirely as if legitimately born: those legitimated by oblation of the curia or by the prince's rescript have no recourse to legitimate brothers, nor to any other paternal agnates or cognates, and vice versa.

LXIIII.

Those born of incest, infamy, and any condemned union can have no right of succession at all, neither to each other nor to any agnates, and vice versa.
