732.606 Nonademption of specific devises in certain cases; sale by guardian of the property; unpaid proceeds of sale, condemnation, or insurance.

   (1) If specifically devised property is sold by a guardian of the property or if a condemnation award or insurance proceeds are paid to a guardian of the property, the specific devisee has the right to a general pecuniary devise equal to the net sale price, the condemnation award, or the insurance proceeds. This subsection does not apply if, subsequent to the sale, condemnation, or casualty, it is adjudicated that the disability of the testator has ceased and the testator survives the adjudication by 1 year. The right of the specific devisee under this subsection is reduced by any right described in subsection (2).

   (2) A specific devisee has the right to the remaining specifically devised property and:

   (a) Any balance of the purchase price owing from a purchaser to the testator at death because of sale of the property plus any security interest.

   (b) Any amount of a condemnation award for the taking of the property unpaid at death.

   (c) Any proceeds unpaid at death on fire or casualty insurance on the property.

   (d) Property owned by the testator at death as a result of foreclosure, or obtained instead of foreclosure, of the security for the specifically devised obligation.
