Community of heirs prior to division



In the case of several heirs, they shall form a community with all joint rights and obligations vested in the estate until its division.

They become joint owners of the items of the estate, and jointly dispose of the rights of the estate subject to contractual or legal representation and administration rights.

Upon request of a co-heir, the competent authority may appoint a representative of the community of heirs until the time of the division.
