Swiss Civil Code

¹ Ex­cept where the dis­pos­i­tion stip­u­lates oth­er­wise, the time of de­liv­ery is deemed to be the death of the pro­vi­sion­al heir.

² Where a dif­fer­ent time is spe­cified and that time has not yet oc­curred on the death of the pro­vi­sion­al heir, the in­her­it­ance passes to his or her heirs against se­cur­ity.

³ If for whatever reas­on that time may no longer oc­cur, the in­her­it­ance passes un­re­servedly to the heirs of the pro­vi­sion­al heir.
