[Text of section effective until July 1, 2011. Repealed by 2008, 521, Sec. 16. See 2008, 521, Sec. 44.]
Section 29. A creditor whose right of action accrues after the expiration of said time of limitation, and whose claim could not legally be presented to the probate court, or whose claim, if presented, has not been allowed, may, by action commenced within one year next after the time when such right of action accrues, recover such claim against the heirs and next of kin of the deceased or against the devisees and legatees under his will, each of whom shall be liable to the creditor to an amount not exceeding the value of the real or personal property which he has received from the estate of the deceased. But if by the will of the deceased any part of his estate or any one or more of the devisees or legatees is made exclusively liable for the debt in exoneration of the residue of the estate or of other devisees or legatees, such provisions of the will shall be complied with, and the persons and estate so exempted shall be liable for only so much of the debt as cannot be recovered from those who are first chargeable therewith.
