Article 803

Pending the liquidation and before the partition, the personal creditors of the heirs shall have no recourse on the property of the succession.

A creditor may claim that partition shall take place. However, in case the interests of a creditor and of one or more of the heirs are contradictory, the Court may decide that partition may be postponed during a certain period.

A creditor of an heir may claim that in due time an heir makes a choice between acceptance, acceptance under the benefit of inventory or renunciation of the inheritance. A decision of an heir to accept fully, or to renounce an inheritance, due to which the recourse on the property of the heir will not be sufficient, may be annulled on the terms of Article 848.
