Art. 613 CC

Items which by their nature belong together must not be separated if one of the heirs objects to such separation.

Family documents and items of special sentimental value to the family must not be sold if any of the heirs objects.

If the heirs cannot reach agreement, the competent authority decides whether to sell such items or to allocate them, against the recipient’s portion or otherwise, giving due regard to local custom and, in the absence of such custom, to the personal circumstances of the heirs.
