Syllabus

<p>Will — Conversion—Blending of real and personal estate — Power of sale.</p> <p>1. Even if there be no positive direction in a will to sell, yet an intention to convert into money will be implied where the will blends real and personal estate in such a way as to show that the testator intended to create a fund out of both and bequeaths the shares thereof as money.</p> <p>2. Where a testator devises a farm at a stipulated price to one of his sons, excepting a vein of coal; blends the remainder of his real estate with the personalty, divides the total into shares, malting the price of the farm part of such total, and then distributes the shares among his wife and children, the will works a conversion of the real estate including the coal under the farm devised to the son.</p>
