813. The liquidator may alienate property bequeathed as legacies by particular title or reduce the legacies by particular title if the other property of the succession is insufficient to pay all the debts.
The alienation or reduction is effected in the order and in the proportions agreed by the legatees. Failing agreement, the liquidator first reduces the legacies not having preference under the will nor involving certain and determinate property, in proportion to their value. Where the property is still insufficient, he alienates the subjects of legacies of certain and determinate property, then the subjects of legacies having preference, or reduces such legacies in proportion to their value.
The legatees may always agree to another mode of settlement or be relieved by giving back their legacies or equivalent value.
