What happens if the promisor dies before the due time for payment of the periodical income in a case where the income is stipulated for the life of the promisor?
In such a case, the obligee will receive a proportional part of the income for the period that had already expired at the time of the promisor's death, within the customary limits. The obligee will also have the right to seek recourse against the estate in the same way as they would for a bequest, unless there is a contrary agreement.
