16.—(1) Where, within twelve months from the date on which a decree of divorce or nullity of marriage has been made absolute or a decree of judicial separation has been granted, a party to the marriage dies and—
(a)an application for a financial provision order under Article 25 of the Matrimonial Causes (Northern Ireland) Order 1978 [1978 NI 15] or a property adjustment order under Article 26 of that Order has not been made by the other party to that marriage, or
