§ 24413. Death or Insanity of Party.
If, during the pendency of the action, any of the parties die, or become

delayed or suspended, but the attorney who has appeared for such party may
continue to represent such interest; and in case any such party has not
appeared by an attorney, the court must appoint an attorney to represent the
interest which was held by such party until his heirs or legal representatives
or successors in interest shall have appeared in the action; and an attorney so
appointed must be allowed by the court a reasonable compensation for his
services, which may be taxed as costs against the share or interest
represented by such attorney, and may be adjudged a lien thereon in the
