Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856):
INOFFICIOUS, civil law. This word is frequently used with others; as,
inofficious testament, inofficiosum testamentum; inofficious gift, donatio
inofficiosa. An inofficious testament is one not made according to the rules
of piety; that is, one made by which the testator has unlawfully omitted or
disinherited one of his heirs. Such a disposition is void by the Roman civil
law. Dig. 5, 2, 5; see Code, 3, 29; Nov. 115; Ayl. Pand. 405; Civil Code of
Lo. art. 3522, n. 21.
