Primary text

If the pre-emptive holder takes the property with a deferred price and either he or the buyer dies, and the debt is deemed immediately due upon death, the debt becomes due only upon the deceased party. This is because death is the specific cause for the debt acceleration, and this consequence is restricted to the party whose obligation it was.
