Article 944Administration by Heir after a Request for a Separation of Patrimony

第九百四十四条(財産分離の請求後の相続人による管理)

Even after an heir unconditionally accepts the succession, the heir must administer the estate with the same care that the heir would exercise over the heir's own property if a request for a separation of patrimony is filed; provided, however, that this does not apply if the family court appoints an administrator to the estate.

相続人は、単純承認をした後でも、財産分離の請求があったときは、以後、その固有財産におけるのと同一の注意をもって、相続財産の管理をしなければならない。ただし、家庭裁判所が相続財産の管理人を選任したときは、この限りでない。

The provisions of Article 645 through Article 647 and Article 650, paragraph (1) and (2) apply mutatis mutandis to a case as referred to in the preceding paragraph.

第六百四十五条から第六百四十七条まで並びに第六百五十条第一項及び第二項の規定は、前項の場合について準用する。
