Cap. 16 Art. 1101Acknowledge- ment of debt by one of the heirs of the joint and several debtors.

(1) An acknowledgment of the debt by one of the heirs of one of the joint and several debtors, and every other act executed against such heir, shall not, even though such acknowledgment or act may interrupt prescription with regard to such heir, interrupt prescription with regard to the other co-heirs, even though the debt be a hypothecary debt, unless the obligation be indivisible.

(2) The interruption of prescription against one of the heirs of one of the joint and several debtors, shall not be operative against the other co-debtors except with regard to the part of the debt for which such heir is liable.

(3) Nevertheless, where prescription has been interrupted against all the heirs of the deceased co-debtor, such interruption shall be operative against all the surviving co-debtors for the whole debt.
