Swiss Civil Code

¹ On com­ple­tion of the di­vi­sion, the co-heirs are mu­tu­ally li­able for the es­tate prop­erty as if they were pur­chasers and vendors.

² They must mu­tu­ally war­rant the ex­ist­ence of claims al­loc­ated to them in the di­vi­sion and, ex­cept in the case of se­cur­it­ies with a mar­ket price, are mu­tu­ally li­able as simple guar­ant­ors for the debt­or’s solvency in the amount at which such claims were brought in­to ac­count.

³ Claims un­der such war­ranty pre­scribe one year after the di­vi­sion or the sub­sequent date on which the claims fell due.
