Legacy of periodic sums

Where the testator bequeaths periodic sums, the first period shall run from the date of the testator’s death. The legatee shall have the right to the said installment the moment the new period commences, even if the legatee dies before the period comes to an end. However, the bequest shall be enforceable at the end of the period only, unless the bequest is for maintenance in which case it shall be enforceable at the beginning of the period.
