835. An heir having assumed payment of the debts of the succession or being liable for them under the rules of this Title may, if he was in good faith, apply to the court to have his obligation reduced or his liability limited to the value of the property he has taken if new circumstances substantially change the extent of his obligation, including, but not limited to, his discovery of new facts, or the coming forward of a creditor of whose existence he could not have been aware when he assumed the obligation.
