略论财产继承中的债务清偿

Discharge of Debts in Inheritance of Property

被继承人生前所欠债务如何处理,我国继承法采取了有限责任继承原则,致使债权人的合法权益难以得到有效的保护。我国应当改无条件的有限责任继承制度为有条件的有限责任继承制度,继承人违反有限责任继承的条件,即应对被继承人的债务负无限责任。立法还应赋予债权人遗产管理请求权,以使债权人的利益得到更好的保护。

As to how to deal with inheritee’s debts, inheritance principle of limited responsibility is adopted in Chian’s law, which cannot protect effectively creditor’s rights. It is suggested that unconditional inheritance principle of limited responsibility should be changed into conditional one. If inheritor disobeys conditional inheritance principle of limited responsibility, he should take on unlimited responsibility for inheritee’s debts. Further, creditor’s right to manage bequest should be endowed by law.
