Article 238Effect of Unconditional Acceptance of Inheritance or Renunciation of Inheritance by the Bankrupt
第二百三十八条（破産者の単純承認又は相続放棄の効力等）
If inheritance commences with regard to the bankrupt before an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings is made, unconditional acceptance of inheritance made by the bankrupt after an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings is issued has the effect of qualified acceptance vis-à-vis the bankruptcy estate. The same applies to renunciation of inheritance made by the bankrupt after an order commencing bankruptcy proceedings is issued.
A bankruptcy trustee may acknowledge the effect of renunciation of inheritance notwithstanding the provisions of the second sentence of the preceding paragraph. In this case, a bankruptcy trustee must submit a statement to the family court to that effect within three months after they came to know that the inheritance had been renounced.
