Where this section sits in the code
  1. Title 15: Estates and Probate
  2. Division 3 - Administration of Decedents’ Estates
  3. Chapter 25: Presentation and Payment of Claims Against the Estate

When a testator devises land subject to a mortgage or other lien, other property specifically devised or bequeathed shall not be sold for the purpose of exonerating the encumbered property, unless a contrary intention can be gathered from the terms of the will, read in the light of the circumstances surrounding its execution. A mere direction that all the testator's debts be paid is not sufficient evidence of such contrary intention.
