Article 472-4Transfer of Security Resulting from Discharging Assumption of an Obligation
第四百七十二条の四（免責的債務引受による担保の移転）
An obligee may transfer a security right that has been created as security for the obligation from which the initial obligor is released pursuant to the provisions of Article 472, paragraph (1) to the obligation assumed by the replacing obligor; provided, however, that if a person other than the replacing obligor created the security right, the obligee must obtain consent from that person.
債権者は、第四百七十二条第一項の規定により債務者が免れる債務の担保として設定された担保権を引受人が負担する債務に移すことができる。ただし、引受人以外の者がこれを設定した場合には、その承諾を得なければならない。
The transfer of a security right under the provisions of the preceding paragraph must be effected by manifesting the intention to the replacing obligor in advance or upon the transfer.
前項の規定による担保権の移転は、あらかじめ又は同時に引受人に対してする意思表示によってしなければならない。
The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs apply mutatis mutandis if there is a person that gave guarantee for the obligation from which the initial obligor is released pursuant to the provisions of Article 472, paragraph (1).
前二項の規定は、第四百七十二条第一項の規定により債務者が免れる債務の保証をした者があるときについて準用する。
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the consent referred to in paragraph (1) as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to the preceding paragraph does not become effective unless it is given in writing.
If the consent referred to in the preceding paragraph is given by means of an electronic or magnetic record in which its content is recorded, the consent is deemed to have been given in writing, and the provisions of that paragraph applies.
