Question juridique clé
Whether corrections to a public inventory may still be requested after the inventory has been closed.
Solution extraite
Corrections may be requested only during the inspection period under Art. 584(1) ZGB; once the public inventory is completed, and certainly after the heirs have declared themselves, it can no longer be altered.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the words 'closing of the inventory' in Art. 587(1) ZGB and 'inventory closed' in Art. 584(1) ZGB are equivalent. During the period when the inventory is laid open, interested persons may inspect it and request additions or corrections. After completion of the inventory, this is no longer possible.
