Article 9 - Action for Partition
964 - Payment of Proceeds Into Court in Cases Involving Decedent's Property.

§ 964. Payment of proceeds into court in cases involving decedent's
property. Where the property has been sold free from the lien of debts,
a final judgment, entered before eighteen months have elapsed from the
granting of letters of administration or letters testamentary upon the
estate of a decedent from whom the plaintiff derived his title, shall
direct that the proceeds of the sale remaining after the payment of the
costs, referee's fees, expenses of sale, and liens established before
the death of the decedent, including any sum allowed to a widow in
satisfaction of her right of dower, therein directed to be paid, be paid
forthwith into court by the referee making such sale.

A final judgment in such case, entered before eighteen months have
elapsed from the granting of letters of administration or letters
testamentary upon the estate of a deceased person, who, if living,
should be a party to the action, shall direct that the share of the
proceeds of such sale, which would have been his, if living, be paid
into court by such referee.
