¹ Where the de­ceased’s cred­it­ors have good cause to fear that their claims will not be met and such claims are not sat­is­fied or se­cured at their re­quest, with­in three months of the death of the de­ceased or the read­ing of the will they may de­mand the of­fi­cial li­quid­a­tion of the es­tate.

² Sub­ject to the same con­di­tions, leg­atees may re­quest pro­vi­sion­al meas­ures by way of se­cur­ity.
