Question juridique clé
Who is competent under §§ 194 and 196 Abs. 1 EG ZGB to decide whether the estate should be delivered to the heirs or inheritance administration ordered?
Solution extraite
Section 196 EG ZGB must be read so that the Amtschreiber decides only on provisional delivery; if delivery is refused, the Vormundschaftsbehörde must order the inheritance administration and appoint the administrator.
Motifs extraits
Section 194 already assigns the order of inheritance administration to the Vormundschaftsbehörde. A split competence for testamentary cases would be inconsistent with that rule and with Art. 556 ZGB.
