Art. 3295 Giving in payment of succession property

When someone in charge of settling an estate (called an executor or administrator) needs to pay off debts, they can hand over property from the estate instead of paying cash. This is called "giving in payment." It works like trading property to settle what's owed, whether the debt is backed by collateral or not.

If more than one creditor is owed money, they can all share ownership of the same property together. This means the estate doesn't have to sell property and split up the cash. Instead, creditors can jointly own a piece of property as a way of getting paid back.
