Article 896General Effect of Succession

第八百九十六条(相続の一般的効力)

From the time the succession opens, the heirs succeed to all rights and duties attached to the property of the decedent; provided, however, that this does not apply to rights or duties of the decedent that are purely personal.

相続人は、相続開始の時から、被相続人の財産に属した一切の権利義務を承継する。ただし、被相続人の一身に専属したものは、この限りでない。
