Article 884 of the French Civil Code

The co-heirs remain respectively guarantors, towards each other, for disturbances and evictions only which arise from a cause prior to the partition. They are also guarantors for the insolvency of the debtor of a debt placed in the lot of a co-partitioner, revealed before the partition.

The guarantee does not arise if the species of eviction suffered has been excepted by a particular and express clause in the deed of partition; it ceases if it is through his fault that the co-heir suffers the eviction.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 884

Les cohéritiers demeurent respectivement garants, les uns envers les autres, des troubles et évictions seulement qui procèdent d’une cause antérieure au partage. Ils sont également garants de l’insolvabilité du débiteur d’une dette mise dans le lot d’un copartageant, révélée avant le partage.

La garantie n’a pas lieu si l’espèce d’éviction soufferte a été exceptée par une clause particulière et expresse de l’acte de partage ; elle cesse si c’est par sa faute que le cohéritier souffre l’éviction.
