Article 1672 of the French Civil Code

If the purchaser has left several heirs, the action for redemption may be brought against each of them only for his share, in the case where it is still undivided, and in the case where the thing sold has been divided between them.

But if there has been a division of the estate and the thing sold has fallen to the lot of one of the heirs, the action for redemption may be brought against him for the whole.

Article 1672

Si l’acquéreur a laissé plusieurs héritiers, l’action en rachat ne peut être exercée contre chacun d’eux que pour sa part, dans le cas où elle est encore indivise, et dans celui où la chose vendue a été partagée entre eux.

Mais s’il y a eu partage de la succession et que la chose vendue soit échue au lot de l’un des héritiers, l’action en rachat peut être intentée contre lui pour le tout.
