Liability of the reversionary heir for the obligations of the estate

(1) The provisions on the restriction of the liability of the heir for the obligations of the estate also apply to the reversionary heir; the place of the estate is taken by what the reversionary heir receives of the inheritance, including the claims they have against the provisional heir as such.

(2) The inventory filed by the provisional heir also benefits the reversionary heir.

(3) The reversionary heir may rely on the limitation of their liability in relation to the provisional heir even if they have unlimited liability in relation to the other creditors of the estate.
