Every voluntary assignment made by a debtor to any person in trust for his
creditors shall be for the benefit of all his creditors, except as provided in
subsections (2) and (3) of this section, in proportion to their respective claims
after the payment of the expenses of the trust.
Any property conveyed by the deed of assignment upon which there is a valid
lien shall be first applied to the discharge of the lien debt, and if the property is
not sufficient to satisfy the lien debt, the lien creditor may present the
unsatisfied remainder as a claim against the estate and receive thereon his pro
rata share of the assets in the same manner as general creditors.
Debts due by the assignor as guardian, conservator, trustee of an express trust
created by deed or will or as personal representative shall be paid in full before
the general creditors receive anything.
