(b) This deed must be inrolled in Chancery within six calendar months after its execution. (See ante, p. 386.) Money directed to be laid out in the purchase of lands is, for all the purposes for which it is so directed to be invested, impressed in equity with the qualities of real estate; it will descend to the heir, it will be real assets for payment of debts, and will pass by a devise of lands and hereditaments. It is, however, competent to the parties having absolute interests in such money, by a declaration of their intention, to take from the fund such qualities of real estate, and to make it transmissible as personalty.
