MADDE 611 · III. Mirasçılardan biri tarafından ret

Yasal mirasçılardan biri mirası reddederse onun payı, miras açıldığı zaman kendisi sağ değilmiş gibi, hak sahiplerine geçer.

Mirası reddeden atanmış mirasçının payı, mirasbırakanın ölüme bağlı tasarrufundan arzusunun başka türlü olduğu anlaşılmadıkça, mirasbırakanın en yakın yasal mirasçılarına kalır.
