In case of doubt, a mandate is not extinguished by the death or incapacity to contract of the mandator. If the mandate is extinguished, then, if postponement entails danger, the mandatary is to continue to carry out the work or services with which they have been entrusted until the heir or the legal representative of the mandator is able to make other arrangements for the work or services to be carried out; to this extent, the mandate is deemed to continue.
