Land Subject to Mortgage

When a testator devises land subject to a mortgage or other lien, other property specifically devised or bequeathed shall not be sold for the purpose of exonerating the encumbered property, unless a contrary intention can be gathered from the terms of the will, read in the light of the circumstances surrounding its execution. A mere direction that all the testator's debts be paid is not sufficient evidence of such contrary intention. SOURCE: Probate Code of Guam (1970), § 736.
