Limitation of the rights of the executor, execution by the heir

(1) The executor does not have the rights specified in sections 2203 to 2206 to the extent that it is to be presumed that the testator did not intend for the executor to have them. If only individual objects of the estate are subject to the administration of the executor, they are entitled to the powers specified in section 2205 sentence 2 only in respect of these objects.

(2) If the executor is not required to execute the dispositions of the testator on their own, they may demand execution from the heir, unless it is to be assumed that the testator intended otherwise.
