MADDE 573 · I. Tenkis

Mirasbırakan, mirastan feragat eden mirasçıya, sağlığında terekenin tasarruf edilebilir kısmını aşan edimlerde bulunmuşsa; diğer mirasçılar bunun tenkisini isteyebilirler. Bu durumda, mirastan feragat edenin sadece saklı payını aşan miktar tenkise tâbi olur.

Edimlerin değerlerinin mahsubu, mirasta denkleştirme kurallarına göre yapılır.
