Forced heirs are:
(1) Legitimate children and descendants, with regard to their legitimate parents and ascendants, and legally recognized natural children, with regard to their natural or legitimate parents and ascendants.
(2) In the absence of the foregoing, the legitimate parents and ascendants, with regard to their legitimate children and descendants.
(3) The widower or widow, in the manner and extent established in §§ 2411, 2412, 2413 and 2414 of this title. As to his or her right to a portion in usufruct, a widower or widow is a forced heir of the estate of the deceased spouse. Id.
In order to determine the usufruct reserved by law for the widow, the value of the property remaining upon the death of the testator, after deducting all debts and charges, without including therein those imposed in the will, shall be taken into consideration. Id.
A testator cannot condition the enjoyment of the legal portion of his widow. Diaz v. Luciano, 1962, 85 P.R.R. 804.
The widow’s usufructuary quota is the legal portion which the law reserves for the surviving spouse, who is a forced heir. Luce & Co. v. Cianchini, 1954, 76 P.R.R. 155.

Whenever the testator shall bequeath a thing employed or mortgaged as a security for some collectible debt the payment of the debt shall be charged upon the legatee unless the testator shall direct that the heir redeem it from the obligation.

Any charge perpetual or temporary to which the thing bequeathed is subject passes with the thing to the legatee, but in both cases the rents and the interest and the profits due at the death of the testator are a charge on the estate.

|
The legacy shall have no effect:
(1) If the testator changes the thing bequeathed in such manner that it does not retain either the form or the denomination it previously had.
(2) If the testator alienates, for any consideration or reason whatsoever, the thing bequeathed or a part thereof, it being understood, in the latter case, that the bequest is without effect only with regard to the part alienated. If, after the alienation, the thing should revert to the ownership of the testator, even though it were by reason of the nullity of the contract, the bequest shall not be valid, after such fact, excepting the case in which the reacquisition takes place on account of an agreement of resale.
(3) If the thing bequeathed is entirely lost during the life of the testator or after his death, without the fault of the heir. Nevertheless, the person obliged to pay the legacy shall be liable for the eviction, if the thing bequeathed should not have been determined in kind in accordance with the provisions of § 2473 of this title.
