If the provisions of the preceding section cannot be executed, if the property bestowed as a gift consisted of real estate, the coheirs shall have a right to be equalized in cash, or in securities, at the rate at which they are quoted; and should there be in the inheritance neither cash nor securities which can be quoted, other property shall be sold at public auction insofar as necessary.
If the property bestowed as a gift is personal property, the coheirs shall have only a right to be equalized in other personal property of the inheritance at its just value at their option.
