Creditors who could have acted on the undivided property before there was indivision, and those whose claim arises from the conservation or management of the undivided property, shall be paid out of the assets before partition. They may also pursue the seizure and sale of the undivided property.
The personal creditors of an undivided co-owner may not seize his share in the undivided property, movable or immovable.
They may, however, bring about the partition in the name of their debtor or intervene in the partition brought about by him. The co-undividendaires may halt the course of the partition action by discharging the obligation in the name and acquit of the debtor. Those who exercise this option will reimburse themselves by deduction from the undivided property.
