Without delay after learning of the opening of the succession, the custodian of will must submit the will to the family court and file a request for probate. The same applies after an heir discovers the will, if no one is its custodian.
遺言書の保管者は、相続の開始を知った後、遅滞なく、これを家庭裁判所に提出して、その検認を請求しなければならない。遺言書の保管者がない場合において、相続人が遺言書を発見した後も、同様とする。
