Pure and simple acceptances may be express or implied.\nAn express acceptance is one made in a public or private instrument.\nImplied acceptance is one made by acts which necessarily imply a wish to accept, or acts which no one should have a right to execute except in the capacity of an heir.\nActs of mere preservation, or provisional administration, do not imply the acceptance of the inheritance, if, at the same time, the title and character of heir have not been assumed.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 953.
