1 La liquidation officielle est faite par l’autorité compétente, qui peut aussi charger de ce soin un ou plusieurs administrateurs.
2 Elle s’ouvre par un inventaire, avec sommation publique.
3 L’administrateur est placé sous le contrôle de l’autorité et les héritiers peuvent recourir à celle-ci contre les mesures projetées ou prises par lui.
1 For the purpose of liquidation, any business activities of the deceased still in operation are brought to a close, his or her obligations are performed, his or her claims are called in, his or her legacies are distributed where possible, his or her rights and duties are determined at law, where necessary, and his or her assets are converted into cash.
2 Land formerly belonging to the deceased is sold at public auction; it may be disposed of by private sale only with the consent of all the heirs.
3 The heirs are entitled even during the liquidation process to request that some or all of the objects and monies that are not required for the liquidation be released into their possession.
