The real property of a decedent passes at his death to his devisees if he leaves a will, and to his heirs at law if he die intestate. Title to the property vests in the devisees or heirs subject to such liens as existed at the time of decedent's death. The property is also subject to the lien of all just debts against the estate. The debts are paid, however, out of the personal property in the estate using first that not specifically bequeathed, then that disposed of by legacies. If all the personal property has been used up and unpaid debts remain, the decedent's real property may be sold to pay them. It is important, in taking title to property from an estate, or recently owned by a deceased person, and in making loans on such property, to obtain satisfactory proof of the payment of all debts of the decedent.
