No statute of limitation running on a cause of action belonging to a decedent that had not been barred as of the date of death shall apply to bar a cause of action surviving the decedent's death sooner than four months after death. A cause of action that, but for this section, would have been barred less than four months after death, is barred after four months unless tolled.
