Article 1371

Coheirs' proportionate liability for succession debts. ACTIVE

No partition is made of the passive debts of the succession; each heir remains bound for the part he takes in the succession, but in order to equalize the shares, those heirs who take the largest allotments may be charged with the payment of a larger portion of the debts.
