Where personal property subject to any lien, mortgage or pledge is specifically bequeathed by will, the legatee must satisfy the lien, mortgage or pledge out of his own property without resorting to the executors of his testator unless there is in the will of such testator a direction, expressly or by necessary implication, that such mortgage, lien or pledge be otherwise paid. Where such personal property specifically bequeathed has been made subject to any lien, mortgage or pledge with other personal property, the specifically bequeathed property shall bear its proportionate share of the total lien, mortgage or pledge.
