Article 934Liability of an Heir Asserting a Qualified Acceptance Whose Payment or Delivery Is Unfair

第九百三十四条(不当な弁済をした限定承認者の責任等)

If an heir asserting a qualified acceptance fails to issue the public notice or notice to file referred to in Article 927, or if the heir's payment or delivery to a creditor of the succession or legatee within the period referred to in paragraph (1) of that Article causes the heir to become unable to make payment or delivery to another creditor of the succession or legatee, the heir is liable to compensate for damage arising from this. The same applies with regard to the liability of an heir asserting a qualified acceptance who violates any of the provisions of Article 929 through Article 931.

限定承認者は、第九百二十七条の公告若しくは催告をすることを怠り、又は同条第一項の期間内に相続債権者若しくは受遺者に弁済をしたことによって他の相続債権者若しくは受遺者に弁済をすることができなくなったときは、これによって生じた損害を賠償する責任を負う。第九百二十九条から第九百三十一条までの規定に違反して弁済をしたときも、同様とする。

The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not preclude a claim for indemnification by a second creditor of the succession or legatee against a first creditor of the succession or legatee that has knowingly accepted unfair payment or delivery.

前項の規定は、情を知って不当に弁済を受けた相続債権者又は受遺者に対する他の相続債権者又は受遺者の求償を妨げない。

The provisions of Article 724 apply mutatis mutandis to a case as referred to in one of the preceding two paragraphs.

第七百二十四条の規定は、前二項の場合について準用する。
