Article 918Administration by an Heir

第九百十八条(相続人による管理)

An heir must administer the estate with the same care that the heir would exercise over the heir's own property; provided, however, that this does not apply once the heir accepts or renounces the succession.

相続人は、その固有財産におけるのと同一の注意をもって、相続財産を管理しなければならない。ただし、相続の承認又は放棄をしたときは、この限りでない。
