Article 996Legacy of Rights Not Belonging to the Estate

第九百九十六条(相続財産に属しない権利の遺贈)

A legacy does not take effect unless the rights that are the object of that legacy belong to the estate at the time of the testator's death; provided, however, that, regardless of whether such rights are part of the estate, the foregoing does not apply if it is found that the testator made those rights the object of the legacy.

遺贈は、その目的である権利が遺言者の死亡の時において相続財産に属しなかったときは、その効力を生じない。ただし、その権利が相続財産に属するかどうかにかかわらず、これを遺贈の目的としたものと認められるときは、この限りでない。
