1 The heirs are not liable either personally or with the inheritance towards creditors of the estate whose claims were not included in the inventory because the creditors failed to register them in time.
2 Where such failure to register claims in the inventory was through no fault of the creditor or his or her claims were not included in the inventory despite having been registered, the heir is liable to the extent he or she is enriched by the inheritance.
3 In all cases, creditors may assert claims to the extent these are secured by a lien on the estate assets.
1 L’erede che accetta col beneficio d’inventario si assume i debiti inventariati e diventa proprietario dei beni ereditari.
2 Gli effetti dell’acquisto dell’eredità, coi suoi diritti e coi suoi obblighi, risalgono al momento dell’aperta successione.
3 L’erede risponde, tanto coi beni della successione quanto coi suoi propri, per tutti i debiti risultanti dall’inventario.
