Article 904-3Share of the Estate in a Division of the Estate after the Lapse of a Period

第九百四条の三(期間経過後の遺産の分割における相続分)

The provisions of the preceding three Articles do not apply to a division of the estate made after ten years have passed since the time the succession opens; provided, however, that this does not apply if any of the following applies:

前三条の規定は、相続開始の時から十年を経過した後にする遺産の分割については、適用しない。ただし、次の各号のいずれかに該当するときは、この限りでない。

if, before ten years pass from the time the succession opens, an heir has filed a request for division of the estate with the family court;

相続開始の時から十年を経過する前に、相続人が家庭裁判所に遺産の分割の請求をしたとき。

if, where an heir had unavoidable grounds that made it impossible to request division of the estate within the six months preceding the expiration of the ten-year period beginning from the time the succession opens, that heir has filed a request for division of the estate with the family court before six months have passed from the time those grounds ceased to exist.

相続開始の時から始まる十年の期間の満了前六箇月以内の間に、遺産の分割を請求することができないやむを得ない事由が相続人にあった場合において、その事由が消滅した時から六箇月を経過する前に、当該相続人が家庭裁判所に遺産の分割の請求をしたとき。
