472.040. Costs. — In all suits and other proceedings in the probate division of the circuit court, the party prevailing shall recover his costs against the other party, except in those cases in which a different provision is made by law. Whenever costs are given against executors and administrators, the estate shall pay the costs. Parties presenting claims against estates, for the same causes and in the same manner, may be ruled to give security for costs, as is provided in practice in civil cases.
