If the debt be found due, the judgment against any heir or devisee shall be general for the full amount found due, unless the heir or devisee shall admit in the action the descent or devise of the estate to him, specifically describing it, in which case the judgment shall be special against him to be made out of the estate so descended and devised alone.
