Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, an adjudication case for the appointment of an appraiser upon the qualified acceptance (meaning an adjudication case regarding the matters set forth in Appended Table 1, row (93)) is subject to the jurisdiction of a family court that has accepted a statement on the qualified acceptance (if the court in charge of appeal has accepted the statement, the family court that is the court of first instance).
前項の規定にかかわらず、限定承認の場合における鑑定人の選任の審判事件（別表第一の九十三の項の事項についての審判事件をいう。）は、限定承認の申述を受理した家庭裁判所（抗告裁判所が受理した場合にあっては、その第一審裁判所である家庭裁判所）の管轄に属する。
When a family court has accepted a statement on the qualified acceptance (if the court in charge of an appeal has accepted the statement, the court) when there are two or more heirs, it must, by its own authority, appoint a liquidator of the estate pursuant to the provisions of Article 936, paragraph (1) of the Civil Code.
家庭裁判所（抗告裁判所が限定承認の申述を受理した場合にあっては、その裁判所）は、相続人が数人ある場合において、限定承認の申述を受理したときは、職権で、民法第九百三十六条第一項の規定により相続財産の清算人を選任しなければならない。

rescission
取消し
Undoing a legal act, such as an offer or acceptance of a contract (意思表示, a manifestation of intention), that the law says may be rescinded: for example one made through an important mistake, though a mistake about the circumstances behind the act only if it had been made clear that they were its basis, and as a rule not where the person was grossly careless (Civil Code, Article 95), or one made under fraud or duress, though fraud by a third party only if the other party knew of it or could have known (Article 96), or one a minor made without the consent of their legal representative (Article 5, paragraph (2)). Once rescinded, the act is treated as void from the start (Article 121). Only the person who made it, their representative or successor, or someone whose consent it needed may rescind it (Article 120). The right is lost if not used within five years from when the act could be confirmed — once the mistake, fraud or other cause has ended and the person knows they can rescind (Article 124) — or twenty years from the act (Article 126). It is lost sooner if the person confirms the act, and once it could be confirmed, performing it or demanding performance without reserving objections counts as confirming it (Articles 122 and 125). The Consumer Contract Act adds grounds of its own, such as a business telling the consumer something untrue about an important matter when soliciting the contract, where the consumer believed it and made the contract because of it (Article 4, paragraph (1), item (i)), and gives most of them a shorter time: one year from when the act could be confirmed, and five years from the contract (Article 7, paragraph (1)).
