Article 991Request for Security by a Legatee

第九百九十一条(受遺者による担保の請求)

Before a legacy becomes due, the legatee may request reasonable security from the person charged with the legacy. The same applies with respect to a legacy that is subject to a condition precedent while the fulfillment of that condition is pending.

受遺者は、遺贈が弁済期に至らない間は、遺贈義務者に対して相当の担保を請求することができる。停止条件付きの遺贈についてその条件の成否が未定である間も、同様とする。
