541.23. In the event that the woman or the person who gave birth to the child dies before expressing their will concerning the establishment of the child’s filiation, their consent is deemed to have been given.
The same rule applies in the event that the woman or the person who gave birth to the child becomes incapable of giving consent before expressing their will. This presumption applies only if 30 days have elapsed since the child’s birth.
