In case of doubt, the mandate is extinguished on the death of the mandatary. If the mandate is extinguished, then the heir of the mandatary is to notify the mandator of the death without undue delay and, if postponement entails danger, is to continue carrying out the work or services with which they have been entrusted until the mandator is able to make other arrangements; in this respect, the mandate is deemed to continue.
