§ 1063. Junior incumbrances; not affected by admeasurement. Where a

portion of the property is admeasured and laid off to the plaintiff as

her dower, a lien which is inferior to the plaintiff's right of dower

attaches, during the life of the plaintiff, to the residue, or to the

portion or share of the residue which was subject to it, as if the

portion laid off to the plaintiff had not been a part of the property.
