Article 885 of the French Civil Code

Each of the co-heirs is personally obliged, in proportion to his emolument, to compensate the evicted co-heir for the loss he has suffered, valued on the day of the eviction.

If one of the co-heirs becomes insolvent, the portion for which he is liable must be divided equally between the guarantor and all the solvent co-heirs.
