Liability of the executor

(1) Where the executor commits a breach of the duties imposed upon them, then if they are at fault, they are responsible to the heir and, to the extent that a legacy is to be fulfilled, also to the legatee for the damage arising therefrom.

(2) If there is more than one executor who is at fault, they are liable as joint and several debtors.
