MADDE 682 · II. Mirasçılara rücu

Paylaşma sözleşmesinde ödenmesi kendisine yükletilmemiş olan bir tereke borcunu veya üzerine aldığı miktardan fazlasını ödeyen mirasçı, diğer mirasçılara rücu edebilir.

Rücu hakkı, ilk önce, ödenmiş olan borcu paylaşma sözleşmesiyle üstlenmiş bulunan mirasçıya karşı kullanılır.

Diğer hâllerde, aksi kararlaştırılmış olmadıkça, mirasçılardan her biri terekedeki borçları miras payı oranında ödemekle yükümlüdür.
