Article 1003Exemption of the Legatee from a Conditioned Legacy

第千三条(負担付遺贈の受遺者の免責)

If the value of the object of a conditioned legacy is reduced due to the qualified acceptance of a succession or through an action to recover the statutory reserved share, the legatee is exempted from a proportion of the obligations borne under that legacy, in line with the proportion of the reduction; provided, however, that if the testator manifests different intention by will, that intention prevails.

負担付遺贈の目的の価額が相続の限定承認又は遺留分回復の訴えによって減少したときは、受遺者は、その減少の割合に応じて、その負担した義務を免れる。ただし、遺言者がその遺言に別段の意思を表示したときは、その意思に従う。
