Résumé Omnilex

The court held that tax owed by the deceased is not a personal debt of the heir. It is a personal obligation of the deceased and, as such, must be deducted from the estate when calculating the succession. The decision therefore excludes treating the tax debt as part of the heir's own liabilities.

Regeste Omnilex

LCP.12 al. 3; succession taxation and deductions from the estate: a tax debt owed by the deceased is a personal obligation of the deceased, not of the heir, and is deductible from the inheritance mass. Such a debt does not become a personal debt of the heir by succession, but enters the succession computation as an estate liability.
