Liability until division

(1) Until the division of the estate, each co-heir may refuse the discharge of the obligations of the estate from the assets they own apart from their share in the estate. If they have unlimited liability for an obligation of the estate, they do not have this right with regard to the part of the obligation that corresponds to their share of the inheritance.

(2) The right of the creditors of the estate to demand satisfaction from all the co-heirs from the undivided estate remains unaffected.
