måloverganger

måløverganger is a term used in Norwegian law to refer to the concept of persons who become responsible for debts and obligations of others. This can occur in a variety of situations, such as when an individual becomes a partner in a business or when two people get married.

In Norway, a partner or spouse can be considered a måløverganger in certain circumstances. For example, if one partner runs a business and incurs debts on behalf of the business, the other partner can potentially become responsible for those debts. Similarly, spouses can be liable for each other's debts in some cases.

The concept of måløverganger is often confused with that of surety or guarantorship, but it is a distinct legal concept. A måløverganger is not necessarily someone who agrees to guarantee a debt, but rather someone who becomes responsible for a debt as a result of their relationship with the debtor.

The law regarding måløverganger in Norway is governed by the Civil Procedure Code and the Debtor's Act. If a debt is considered a måløverganger debt, the creditor has the right to demand payment from both the original debtor and the måløverganger.

Understanding the concept of måløverganger is important for individuals and businesses in Norway, particularly in situations involving debt and liability. It can help prevent unexpected financial burdens and ensure that all parties involved are aware of their responsibilities.
