 No action to exercise a claim under a provision of a will shall be instituted upon the passage of one year from the time the legatee learnt or should have learnt of his rights under the will.

Subject to section 189 of this Code, if a claim which a creditor has over the inheritance owner is subject to a limitation period longer than one year, the creditor shall be prohibited from instituting an action upon the passage of one year from the time he learnt or should have learnt of the death of the inheritance owner.

Nevertheless, no action to exercise such claim as mentioned in any of the previous paragraphs shall be instituted upon the passage of ten years from the death of the inheritance owner.

Such one-year limitation can be raised as a defence only by an heir or person entitled to exercise the rights of an heir or by an inheritance administrator.
