Directions by the deceased for partitioning

The testator may by testamentary disposition give directions for the partitioning. In particular, the testator may direct that the partitioning is to be carried out by a third party exercising equitable discretion. The decision made by the third party on the basis of the direction is not binding on the heirs if it is evidently inequitable; the decision is made by judicial decision of a court in this case.
