Article 1017Execution of Duties If There Are Multiple Executors

第千十七条(遺言執行者が数人ある場合の任務の執行)

If there are multiple executors, the way in which they execute their duties is decided by majority; provided, however, that if the testator manifests different intention by will, that intention prevails.

遺言執行者が数人ある場合には、その任務の執行は、過半数で決する。ただし、遺言者がその遺言に別段の意思を表示したときは、その意思に従う。

Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, any individual executor may undertake an act of preservation.

各遺言執行者は、前項の規定にかかわらず、保存行為をすることができる。
