§ 318 - Allowance to children before payment of debts
§ 318. Allowance to children before payment of debts
Before any partition or division of an estate among the heirs or beneficiaries by will, an allowance may be made for the necessary expenses of the support of the children of the decedent under 18 years of age until they arrive at that age. The probate court may order the executor or administrator to retain sufficient estate assets for that purpose, except where some provision is made by will for their support.
