To allow a debt menoned in the will in the amount expressed therein on the ground that such was the desire of the testator, when, in fact, the debt had been wholly or partly paid, would be not only unust to the residuary heirs, but a re!econ upon the good sense of the testator himself. The direcon in the will for the executor to pay all ust debts does not mean that he shall pay them without   probate. There is nothing in the will to indicate that the testator intended that his estate should be administer administered ed in any other than the regular regular way under the statute, statute, which re"uires re"uires #all demands against the estates of the deceased persons,# #all such demands as may be exhibited,# etc. The statute pro$ides the $ery  means for ascertaining whether the claims against the estate or ust debts. %ut it is said that the plain&'s (antos) claims should be considered as partaing of the nature of a legacy and  disposed of accordingly. *f this be perfect then the plain& (antos) would recei$e nothing unl a+er all debts had been paid and the heirs by force of law had recei$ed their shares. rom any point of $iew the ine$itable result is that there must be a hearing someme hearing someme before some tribunal to determine the correctness of the debts recogni-ed in the wills of deceased persons. This hearing, in the rst instance, cannot be had before the court  because because the law does not authori-e it. uch debtors debtors must present present their claims claims to the commi/ee0 commi/ee0 otherwise otherwise their claims will be fore$er barred.1  2.
