burden

noun

Comparative law notes

Switzerland

an order in the case of a gift or in a testamentary disposition. In inheritance law, the testator may, in a testamentary disposition (will or inheritance contract), impose on the complainant (usually the heir) any legally permissible act (act or omission). This would be the proper English word choice in the context of a "testamentary burden" under sec. 1940 BGB". The testator may, by will, oblige the heir or a legatee to make a payment without granting a right to the payment to another person (condition)."
