II.

CAN THE REAL ESTATE BE CHARGED WITH THE PAYMENT OF
ANY PORTION OF SAID $50,000.?

I think not, although possibly real estate blended in
the residuum may be so charged.

The real estate of the testator is not chargeable with
the payment of legacies unless the testator has so charged
it either expressly or by clear and manifest implication.

As a general rule the personal estate is not only
the primary, but the only fund for the payment of legacies.
