Section 757

SEC. 757. From what part of estate such shares taken. — When a share of a testator's estate is assigned to a child born after the making of the will, or to the child or issue of a child omitted in the will, the same shall first be taken from the estate not disposed of by the will, if there is any, and if that is not sufficient so much as is necessary shall be taken from the devisees or legatees in proportion to the value of the estate they respectively receive under the will; but if the obvious intention of the testator as to some specific devise or bequest, or other provision of the will, would thereby be defeated, such specific devise, legacy, or provision may be exempted from such apportionment and a different apportionment adopted, in the discretion of the court.
