The legatee of two legacies, one of which is onerous, cannot renounce the latter and accept the former. If both are either onerous or gratuitous, he is free to accept all of them or repudiate the one he wishes.
The heir who is at the same time a legatee may renounce the inheritance and accept the legacy or renounce the latter and accept the former.
