The interpellation made to one of the joint and several debtors by an application to court or by an act of forced execution or the acknowledgement by the debtor of the right of the one against whom he was prescribing interrupts the prescription period against all the others, even against their heirs.
On the other hand, a summons issued to one of the heirs of a joint and several debtor or the acknowledgement of that heir does not interrupt the limitation period in respect of the other co-heirs, even in the case of a mortgage claim, if the obligation is divisible. Such interpellation or acknowledgement interrupts the prescription period, as regards the other co-debtors, only for the share for which that heir is liable.
To interrupt the prescription period for the whole, as regards the other co-debtors, interpellation made to all the heirs of the deceased debtor or acknowledgement by all those heirs is required.
