Chapter 33 - Administration and Personal Representatives
3383 - Statutes of limitations; claims not barred at death.

     § 3383.  Statutes of limitations; claims not barred at death.
        The death of a person shall not stop the running of the
     statute of limitations applicable to any claim against him, but
     a claim which otherwise would be barred within one year after
     the death of the decedent shall not be barred until the
     expiration of one year after his death. Nothing in this section
     shall be construed to shorten the period which would have been
     allowed by any applicable statute of limitations if the decedent
     had continued to live.
