1 If an heir has paid a debt owed by the deceased that was not allocated to him or her in the division, or if he or she has paid more of a debt than he or she has assumed, he or she has right of recourse against the co-heirs.
2 Recourse is taken first against the person who assumed such debt in the division.
3 In all other respects, the heirs must bear the debts in proportion to their shares in the estate, unless otherwise agreed.
