1Opinion of the Court
1CARAWAY, J.
In this case, two children, excluded from their father’s will, seek application of La. R.S. 9:2501 for an interpretation of the 1991 testament which would provide them with rights as forced heirs. Since the testator died after the 1995 changes to the law of forced heirship, the trial court ruled that plaintiffs were not forced heirs and dismissed their claims. Finding that La. R.S. 9:2501(B) is inapplicable for the construction and interpretation of the testament, we. affirm the trial court’s ruling.
