1 If, after the legacies have been distributed, the heirs pay debts of the estate that were previously unknown to them, they are entitled to reimbursement from the legatees of an amount corresponding to the proportionate abatement of such legacies that the heirs could have claimed.
2 However, the legatees may be held liable only in the amount by which they are enriched at the time such reimbursement is demanded.
1 Les droits des créanciers du défunt priment ceux des légataires.
2 Les créanciers personnels de l’héritier ont les mêmes droits que ceux du défunt, lorsque le débiteur accepte purement et simplement la succession.
