Art. 612 ZGB
Eine Erbschaftssache, die durch Teilung an ihrem Werte wesentlich verlieren würde, soll einem der Erben ungeteilt zugewiesen werden.
Können die Erben sich über die Teilung oder Zuweisung einer Sache nicht einigen, so ist die Sache zu verkaufen und der Erlös zu teilen.
Auf Verlangen eines Erben hat der Verkauf auf dem Wege der Versteigerung stattzufinden, wobei, wenn die Erben sich nicht einigen, die zuständige Behörde entscheidet, ob die Versteigerung öffentlich oder nur unter den Erben stattfinden soll.
