If a coheir has made a special contribution to maintaining or increasing the assets of the decedent, by supplying labor or providing financially for the business of the decedent, through a contribution to the medical treatment or care of the decedent, or in any other way, the estate is deemed to comprise the value of the assets held by the decedent at the time the succession opens, less the amount that the coheirs determine by agreement to be the heirs' contribution to the estate; and the share in the estate of a coheir who has made such a contribution is the amount of that heir's contribution plus the heir's share of the estate as calculated pursuant to the provisions of Article 900 through Article 902.
共同相続人中に、被相続人の事業に関する労務の提供又は財産上の給付、被相続人の療養看護その他の方法により被相続人の財産の維持又は増加について特別の寄与をした者があるときは、被相続人が相続開始の時において有した財産の価額から共同相続人の協議で定めたその者の寄与分を控除したものを相続財産とみなし、第九百条から第九百二条までの規定により算定した相続分に寄与分を加えた額をもってその者の相続分とする。
If an agreement as referred to in the preceding paragraph is not reached or if discussions toward such an agreement cannot be held, the family court determines the amount of contribution to the estate at the request of a person making a contribution to the estate as prescribed the preceding paragraph, in consideration of the timing of the contribution, the means and extent of the contribution, the value of the estate, and all other circumstances.
The amount of contribution to an estate may not exceed the amount remaining after the value of legacies is deducted from the value of the property held by the decedent at the time the succession opens.
寄与分は、被相続人が相続開始の時において有した財産の価額から遺贈の価額を控除した残額を超えることができない。
The request referred to in paragraph (2) may be filed if a request under the provisions of Article 907, paragraph (2) has been filed, or in the case prescribed in Article 910.
