If the usufruct be on the whole or any aliquot part of any inheritance, the usufructuary may advance the sums which may belong to the property in usufruct for the payment of the debts of the said inheritance, and shall have the right to demand their return from the owner, without interest, at the expiration of the usufruct.
If the usufructuary refuse to make the said advance, the owner may demand that the part of the property in usufruct which may be necessary to pay the said sums, be sold, or pay them with his own money, with the right, in this latter case, to demand of the usufructuary the corresponding interest.
