Article 927Issuing Public Notice and Notice to File to Creditors of the Succession and Legatees
第九百二十七条(相続債権者及び受遺者に対する公告及び催告)
An heir asserting a qualified acceptance must issue public notice to all creditors of the succession (meaning creditors with claims that are a part of the estate; hereinafter the same applies) and legatees, within five days of asserting the qualified acceptance, indicating that the person is asserting a qualified acceptance and that the creditors and legatees must file their claims within a fixed period. This period, in such a case, may not be of less than two months.
限定承認者は、限定承認をした後五日以内に、すべての相続債権者(相続財産に属する債務の債権者をいう。以下同じ。)及び受遺者に対し、限定承認をしたこと及び一定の期間内にその請求の申出をすべき旨を公告しなければならない。この場合において、その期間は、二箇月を下ることができない。
A supplementary note must be placed in the public notice under the preceding paragraph, indicating that creditors of the succession and legatees failing to file within the period fixed therein will be excluded from payment or delivery; provided, however, that an heir asserting a qualified acceptance may not exclude any known creditor of the succession or legatee.
An heir asserting a qualified acceptance must issue an individual notice to file to each known creditor of the succession and legatee.
限定承認者は、知れている相続債権者及び受遺者には、各別にその申出の催告をしなければならない。
The public notice referred to in paragraph (1) is issued by publication in the Official Gazette.
