Article 899-2Requirement for Perfection of Assumption of Rights in Joint Succession
第八百九十九条の二(共同相続における権利の承継の対抗要件)
The assumption of rights by succession, regardless of whether it is by division of the estate, may not be asserted against a third party with respect to the portion exceeding the share of the estate calculated pursuant to the provisions of the following Article and Article 901, unless registration, recording or any other requirement for perfection has been satisfied.
If, in the case where the right referred to in the preceding paragraph is a claim, a coheir who has assumed the claim in excess of the share of the estate calculated pursuant to the provisions of the following Article and Article 901 notifies the obligor of the assumption, making clear the content of the will relating to the claim (or, if the claim was assumed by division of the estate, the content of the division of the estate relating to the claim), the provisions of that paragraph apply on the deeming that all of the coheirs have given notice to the obligor.
