To charge upon a promise

Would you please rewrite this sentence so as to explain to me what it means?



To charge any executor or administrator upon any special promise to answer damages out of his own estate



Does "charge" mean "accuse", "entrust", "comand"...? Is the "executor or administrator" the person who made the promise? Did his promise consist in saying he would use his belongings to pay for the damages? Or does the sentence mean that the "executor or administrator" that made a "special promise" (whatever it was) will be obliged to pay for I don't know what damages?



Thanks a lot in advance!
