Joint management of the estate

(1) The heirs are jointly entitled to the management of the estate. Every co-heir is obliged to the others to cooperate in measures that are necessary for due management; the measures necessary for preservation may be undertaken by each co-heir without the cooperation of the others.

(2) The provisions of sections 743, 745, 746 and 748 apply. The division of the fruits does not take place until the partitioning. If the partitioning is excluded for more than one year, each co-heir may request the division of the net income at the end of every year.
