Swiss Civil Code

¹ A real bur­den ob­liges an own­er of im­mov­able prop­erty to ful­fil an ob­lig­a­tion to a be­ne­fi­ciary for which he or she is li­able solely with the im­mov­able prop­erty.

² The cur­rent own­er of an­oth­er prop­erty may be des­ig­nated as the be­ne­fi­ciary.

³ Oth­er than in the case of pub­lic law real bur­dens, a real bur­den may have as its ob­ject only one ob­lig­a­tion, which is de­term­ined either by the nature of the ser­vi­ent prop­erty or the eco­nom­ic needs of the be­nefited prop­erty.⁶⁴⁵
