Value of the estate

(1) The calculation of the compulsory share is based on the condition and value of the estate at the time of the devolution of the inheritance. In the calculation of the compulsory share of a descendant and the parents of the testator, the preferential benefit of the surviving spouse is not taken into account.

(2) The value is to be determined, to the extent necessary, by estimate. A valuation made by the testator is not relevant.
