If, before the coming into force of the Part of Succession of the Civil Code, extinctive prescription is already completed in accordance with the provisions of the Part of Succession of the Civil Code, or the remainder of the period of prescription is less than one year, the right of claim may be enforced within one year from the date of the coming into force. But this does not apply when the time, reckoning from the completion of the prescription to the coming into force of the Part of Succession of the Civil Code, exceeds a half of the period of prescription as provided in the Part of Succession of the Civil Code.
