Official statutory text
Whenever a debtor of a decedent is unable to pay all his debts,
the executor or administrator, with the approbation of the judge of

upon receiving a fair and just dividend of his effects. A
compromise may also be authorized, when it appears to be just and
for the best interest of the estate.
