Suspension of expiry of the limitation period in matters relating to estates

A claim that is part of or directed against an estate does not become statute-barred until at least six months have passed from the time at which the inheritance is accepted by the heir or at which insolvency proceedings in respect of the estate are opened or onwards of which the claim may be asserted by or against an agent. If the limitation period is shorter than six months, the period specified for limitation takes the place of the period of six months.
