Article 1001Extension of a Security Interest to the Proceeds of a Legacy Constituting a Claim
第千一条(債権の遺贈の物上代位)
In the event that a claim has been made the object of a legacy, if the testator has received payment or delivery in respect of that claim and a thing so received is among the estate, that thing is presumed to have been made the object of that legacy.
債権を遺贈の目的とした場合において、遺言者が弁済を受け、かつ、その受け取った物がなお相続財産中に在るときは、その物を遺贈の目的としたものと推定する。
If money is the object of a claim that has been made the object of a legacy, that money is presumed to have been made the object of the legacy even if funds equivalent to that claim are not among the estate.
金銭を目的とする債権を遺贈の目的とした場合においては、相続財産中にその債権額に相当する金銭がないときであっても、その金額を遺贈の目的としたものと推定する。
