§ 2565. Liens or Encumbrances on Homestead.
If there are subsisting liens or encumbrances on the homestead, and
the funds of the estate are adequate to pay all claims against the estate,
the claims secured by such liens and encumbrances, whether filed or
presented or not, if known or made known to the personal representative,
must be paid out of such funds. If the funds of the estate are not
sufficient for that purpose, the claims so secured shall be paid
