  **第一項**  受遺者又は受贈者は、次の各号の定めるところに従い、遺贈（特定財産承継遺言による財産の承継又は相続分の指定による遺産の取得を含む。以下この章において同じ。）又は贈与（遺留分を算定するための財産の価額に算入されるものに限る。以下この章において同じ。）の目的の価額（受遺者又は受贈者が相続人である場合にあっては、当該価額から第千四十二条の規定による遺留分として当該相続人が受けるべき額を控除した額）を限度として、遺留分侵害額を負担する。
  <sup>art-1047/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-code/art-1047/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/129AC0000000089/art-1047/par-1</sup>
  A legatee or donee bears the amount of infringement of the statutory reserved share, as provided in each of the following items, up to the limit of the value of the object of the legacy (including succession to property under a will for succession of specific property and acquisition of the estate by designation of a share of the estate; the same applies below in this Chapter) or the gift (limited to those included in the value of the property for calculating the statutory reserved share; the same applies below in this Chapter) (or, if the legatee or donee is an heir, the amount obtained by deducting from that value the amount that the heir should receive as the statutory reserved share under the provisions of Article 1042).

    **二**  受遺者が複数あるとき、又は受贈者が複数ある場合においてその贈与が同時にされたものであるときは、受遺者又は受贈者がその目的の価額の割合に応じて負担する。ただし、遺言者がその遺言に別段の意思を表示したときは、その意思に従う。

    if there are multiple legatees, or if there are multiple donees and the gifts were made at the same time, the legatees or donees bear the amount in proportion to the value of the object of their legacies or gifts; provided, however, that if the testator manifests a different intention by will, that intention prevails;

  **第二項**  第九百四条、第千四十三条第二項及び第千四十五条の規定は、前項に規定する遺贈又は贈与の目的の価額について準用する。

  <sup>art-1047/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/civil-code/art-1047/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/129AC0000000089/art-1047/par-3</sup>
  A legatee or donee who has received the request referred to in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, if the legatee or donee has made performance with respect to an obligation succeeded to by the person entitled to the statutory reserved share or has taken any other act that extinguishes an obligation, may extinguish the obligation borne pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), up to the limit of the amount of the obligation thus extinguished, by a manifestation of intention to the person entitled to the statutory reserved share. In this case, the right to reimbursement acquired against the person entitled to the statutory reserved share by that act is extinguished up to the limit of the amount of the obligation thus extinguished.
