1. ““Ordinarily the right to the purchase price of land, contracted to be sold but not conveyed at the time of the Vendor’s death, passes to his personal representative- and not to his heirs. (Gilmore v. Gilmore, 60 Kan. 606 , 57 Pac. 505 ; 18 Cyc. 187; 11 R. C. L. 124; Note, 57 L. R. A. 646.), The petition contains nothing to suggest a different rule here, but if the' evidence should show that the administrator believed that the notes therein referred to followed the rule .of real estate and became the property of the widow, no statements made by him in good faith by reason of that- belief, however incorrect from a legal point of view, would warrant a reopening of the administration.” (p. 522.)”
