When legatee or widow entitled to compel payment.
After the expiration of six months from the grant of letters testamentary, or of administration, with the will annexed, if there are more than sufficient assets in the hands of such executor or administrator to pay the debts of the deceased, any legatee may apply to the probate court of the county in which letters were granted to compel the payment of his legacy; and a widow who has dissented from her husband's will or her personal representative, if she is dead, shall have like remedy to compel the payment of the distributive share to which she may be entitled.
