The discharge or devise in a will of a receivable or demand due the testator from any person named as personal representative in the will, or from any other person, is not valid against the creditors of the decedent, but must be construed as a specific devise only of the receivable or demand. The amount must be included in the inventory and, if necessary, be applied in payment of claims of creditors of the decedent. If not necessary for that purpose, it must be disposed of in the same manner as other specific devises.
