A statute of limitation running on a cause of action belonging to a decedent, which had not been barred as of the date of the decedent's death, may not apply to bar a cause of action surviving the decedent's death sooner than 4 months after death. A cause of action that, but for this section, would have been barred less than 4 months after death is barred after 4 months unless tolled.
