Explanation of Article 158

This article addresses the effect of the death of the intermeddler or the beneficiary on the agency. If the intermeddler dies, their heirs - if they possess the capacity - or their representative, if they are aware of the agency, must promptly inform the beneficiary of the death of their predecessor and take the necessary measures to preserve the property. However, if the beneficiary dies, the intermeddler remains obligated to the heirs as they were obligated to their predecessor.
