Suits on bonds against heirs
§ 20–1506. Suits on bonds against heirsA creditor by a bond which purports to bind the heirs of the obligor may not sue the heirs in respect oi assets descended to them, but shall make his claim against the estate in the same manner as required of other creditors. Debts arising by specialty and by simple contract, without distinction, are payable primarily out of the personal estate, and, if that is insufficient, are payable equally and without preference out of the proceeds of the real estate.
