1. ““The statutes concerning the foreclosures of mortgages against estates are not applicable. This foreclosure was against Dunlap only. Offill had parted with the land, and the estate had no interest in it. “The basis of plaintiff’s claim against the estate was decedent’s note, not the deficiency judgment. These are of necessity for the same amount because there can be no double recovery. “The suit and judgment of foreclosure being against Dunlap an allowance of anything against the estate was not a prerequisite. The record presents no equities in favor of the estate and contains no hint that it has been prejudiced.””
