Question juridique clé
Whether the heirs' takeover must be published under § 204 EG ZGB despite the applicant's request for exemption.
Solution extraite
Yes. Publication is mandatory in all cases except where a certificate of assetlessness is issued.
Motifs extraits
The publication serves to inform creditors of both the deceased and the heirs. Since undisclosed debts may exist and heirs remain liable with all assets, no general exemption is available beyond the statutory exception.
