Upon the petition of the personal representative, the court may, whenever it may appear necessary, order the surviving partner to render an accounting, and in case of neglect or refusal, may, after notice, compel it by any lawful process, and the personal representative may maintain against the surviving partner any action which the decedent could have maintained.4.
