When the same title includes several estates awarded to several coheirs, or one only which may have been divided among two or more, the title shall remain in the possession of the person having the largest interest in the estate or estates, and true copies thereof shall be furnished the others at the expense of the estate. Should the interests be equal, the title shall be delivered to the male heir, and should there be more than one, to the eldest.
Should the title be an original one, the person in whose possession it remains shall furthermore be obliged to exhibit it to the other persons interested, when they request it.
