Questão jurídica principal
Whether the deliberation period under Art. 587(2) ZGB may be extended until a pending liability action ends.
Decisão extraída
Yes. The heirs had a legitimate interest in awaiting the outcome because the estate's solvency depended on the action's result.
Fundamentação extraída
The public inventory is meant to let heirs decide with full knowledge of assets and liabilities. Where the estate's overindebtedness depends on the outcome of a pending claim, extending the period is appropriate, subject to creditor interests.
