§ 64.1-174. When court to order payment of debts
When a report of the accounts of any personal representative and of the debts and demands against the decedent's estate shall be confirmed as provided in Chapter 2 (§ 26-8 et seq.) of Title 26, the court shall order to be applied to the payment of such debts and demands so much of the estate in the hands of such representative, and to such creditors, as shall appear proper, reserving, when it seems to the court reasonable to do so to meet a claim of a surety for the decedent or any other contingent claim against the estate, the proof of which has to be deferred, or to meet any other claim not finally passed upon, such sum as it may deem sufficient to pay it or a proportion thereof equal to what is ordered to be paid to other creditors of the same class should the payment of it or such proportion afterwards appear proper.
