MADDE 677 · II. Miras payı üzerinde sözleşme

Terekenin tamamı veya bir kısmı üzerinde miras payının devri konusunda mirasçılar arasında yapılan sözleşmelerin geçerliliği yazılı şekle bağlıdır.

Bir mirasçının üçüncü kişiyle yapacağı böyle bir sözleşmenin geçerliliği, noterlikçe düzenlenmesine bağlıdır. Sözleşme bu kişiye paylaşmaya katılma yetkisi vermez; sadece paylaşma sonunda mirasçıya özgülenen payın kendisine verilmesini isteme hakkını sağlar.
