CC; Parte seconda: Della devoluzione dell’eredità; Titolo sedicesimo: Degli effetti della devoluzione; Capo secondo: Dell’acquisto dell’eredità; A. Acquisto; I. Eredi
Art. 560 CC
Gli eredi acquistano per legge l’universalità della successione dal momento della sua apertura.
Salve le eccezioni previste dalla legge, i crediti, la proprietà, gli altri diritti reali ed il possesso del defunto passano senz’altro agli eredi, ed i debiti del medesimo diventano loro debiti personali.
Per gli eredi istituiti, gli effetti dell’acquisto risalgono al momento dell’apertura della successione, e gli eredi legittimi sono tenuti a consegnar loro l’eredità secondo le regole del possesso.
