Chapter 28A - Administration of Decedents' Estates
Article 15 - Assets; Discovery of Assets.
§ 28A-15-3 - Nonexoneration of encumbered property.
Universal Citation: NC Gen Stat § 28A-15-3 (2021)
28A-15-3. Nonexoneration of encumbered property.
When real or personal property subject to any lien or security interest, except judgment liens, is specifically devised, the devisee takes the property subject to the encumbrance and without a right to have other assets of the decedent applied to discharge the secured obligation, unless an express provision of the will confers such right of exoneration. A general testamentary direction to pay the debts of the decedent is not sufficient to confer such right.
(1973, c. 1329, s. 3.)
