Those devisees(inheritors of the property) would then recoup from the proceeds
of the sale any disproportionate shares which each may have paid in order to pay the mortgage on the subject property or to provide for its maintenance, taxes, or other required payments. And, those who failed to pay their fair shares of these afore-mentioned expenditures would then each have his or her inheritances proportionately reduced by these amounts.
