Over-indebtedness as a result of legacies and testamentary burdens

If the over-indebtedness of the estate results from legacies and testamentary burdens, the heir, even if the prerequisites set out in section 1990 are not met, is entitled to effect the discharge of these liabilities under the provisions of sections 1990 and 1991. The heir may prevent the surrender of the objects of the estate still in existence by paying the value.
