2115.11 Discharge of a debt in a will.
The discharge, or bequest, in a will, of a debt or demand of a testator against an executor named therein, or against any other person, is not valid as against the decedent’s creditors, but is only a specific bequest of such debt or demand. The amount thereof must be included in the inventory of the credits and effects of the deceased and, if necessary, such amount must be applied in the payment of his debts. If not necessary for that purpose, such amount shall be paid in the same manner and proportion as other specific legacies.
