Inventory for an inheritance that is part of common matrimonial property

(1) Where a spouse living under the regime of community of property is an heir and where the inheritance is part of the common matrimonial property, the fixing of the inventory period is effective only if it is also made towards the other spouse, if the other spouse manages the common matrimonial property alone or together with the first spouse. As long as the period has not expired with regard to the second spouse, it does not end with regard to the spouse who is the heir either. The filing of the inventory by the other spouse also benefits the spouse who is an heir.

(2) The provisions of subsection (1) also apply after the end of the community of property.
