(1) Every co-heir may publicly request the creditors of the estate to register their claims within six months with the heir or the probate court. Once the request has been made, every co-heir will be liable after the division only for the part of a claim corresponding to their share of the inheritance, unless the claim was registered before the end of the period or the co-heir was aware of the claim at the time of the division.
(2) The request is to be published in the Federal Gazette (Bundesanzeiger) and by the newspaper specified for the notices of the probate court. The period begins on the last insertion. The costs are borne by the heir issuing the request.
