If the personal property delivered to the decedent’s next of kin or legatees or the real estate descended or devised to the decedent’s heirs or devisees exceeds the amount of debts that are entitled to a preference over the debt for which an action is brought, judgment shall be rendered against the next of kin, legatees, heirs, or devisees only for a sum that is a just proportion to the other debts of the same class with that on which the action is brought.
