MADDE 519 · III. Tereke ile ilgisi

Tereke mevcudunu veya tasarrufu yerine getirme yükümlüsüne yapılan kazandırmayı ya da saklı payı zedeleyen tasarrufların orantılı olarak tenkisi istenebilir.

Tasarrufu yerine getirme yükümlüsü, mirasçılığı veya kendisine bırakılan kazandırmayı reddetmiş ya da mirasbırakandan önce ölmüş veya mirastan yoksun kalmış olsa bile tasarruf yürürlükte kalır; yerine getirme borcu, bu durumlardan yararlananlara geçer.

Yasal veya atanmış mirasçı, mirası reddetmiş olsa bile lehine yapılmış bir tasarrufun yerine getirilmesini isteyebilir.
