Scope of liability of the purchaser

(1) The provisions concerning the limitation of the liability of an heir apply to the liability of the purchaser. They have unlimited liability to the extent that the seller, at the time of the sale, has unlimited liability. If the liability of the purchaser is restricted to the inheritance, their claims arising from the purchase are deemed to be part of the inheritance.

(2) The filing of the inventory by the seller or the purchaser also benefits the other party, unless the latter has unlimited liability.
