1581. Where the creditor is in default for not receiving payment, the debtor may take any measures necessary or useful for the preservation of the property which he owes and, in particular, entrust it to a third person for storage or custody.
In the same case, if the property is perishable, likely to depreciate rapidly or expensive to preserve, the debtor may cause it to be sold and deposit the proceeds.
