An inheritance is considered as accepted:
(1) When the heir sells, gives, or assigns his right to a stranger, to all his coheirs, or to one of them.
(2) When the heir renounces it, even gratuitously, for the benefit of one or more of his coheirs.
(3) When he renounces it for a consideration in favor of all his coheirs indiscriminately, but if this renunciation should be gratuitous, and the coheirs, in whose favor it is made, are those to whom the portion renounced must accrue, the inheritance shall not be considered as accepted.
