In this case it was the unanimous opinion of the Court, that if, in a process of reduction and improbation, an apparent heir was called, and a decreet of certification recovered against him, that certification was good against everybody coming afterwards to have right to that subject, whether creditor or any succeeding heir; for they thought it was not necessary that the heir should have completed his title in order to be a defender in that process, because nothing was to be concluded against him, nor any subject to be evicted from him, but only a writing to be declared false and forged.
