The property, real and personal, given by the will to any devisee or legatee, is liable for the payment of the funeral charges, expenses of administration, and of claims against the estate. If there is more than one devisee or legatee, such liability is in proportion to the value or amount of the several devises and legacies, except that specific devises and legacies shall be exempt from such liability if such appears to have been the intention of the testator and there is other sufficient property to satisfy the charges, expenses, and claims.
