If a co-heir has received more in the gift than they would be entitled to on partitioning, they are not obliged to pay out the amount received in excess. In such a case, the estate is divided between the other heirs in such a way that the value of the gift and the share of the inheritance of the co-heir are excluded from the adjustment.
