Article 875 of the French Civil Code

A co-heir who, by the effect of the mortgage, has paid more than his share of the common debt, has recourse against the other co-heirs, only for the share that each of them must personally bear, even in the case where the co-heir who has paid the debt has been subrogated to the rights of the creditors ; without prejudice, however, to the rights of a co-heir who, by the effect of acceptance to the extent of the net assets, would have retained the right to claim payment of his personal claim, like any other creditor.

Article 875

Le cohéritier qui, par l’effet de l’hypothèque, a payé au-delà de sa part de la dette commune, n’a de recours contre les autres cohéritiers, que pour la part que chacun d’eux doit personnellement en supporter, même dans le cas où le cohéritier qui a payé la dette se serait fait subroger aux droits des créanciers ; sans préjudice néanmoins des droits d’un cohéritier qui, par l’effet de l’acceptation à concurrence de l’actif net, aurait conservé la faculté de réclamer le paiement de sa créance personnelle, comme tout autre créancier.
