My comment:

"Charge testamentaire" and "charge successorale" are two different ideas: "charge testamentaire" are all the liabilities (expenses, having to help financially or physically the widow(er), etc.) imposed on the heir(ess) by the testator himself, whereas "charge successorale" is all the expenses (taxes, paying off the debts of the deceased,...) imposed by the law.

I agree. I'd choose "burden" over "load", or just use "liabilities".
