The coheir who shall have paid more than pertains to his share in the inheritance may demand his proportionate part of the others.\nThe same course shall be pursued if, by reason of the debt being secured by mortgage or consisting in a specified object, he should have paid it in full. The person to whom it has been awarded may, in such case, demand of his coheirs the proportional part only, even though the creditor should have transferred to him his actions and subrogated him in his place.\nHistory —Civil Code, 1930, § 1038.
