§ 2559. Death After Entry of Judgment; Execution; Procedure;
Redemption.
When a judgment has been entered against the decedent, no
execution shall issue thereon after the decedent's death, except as
provided in the Code of Civil Procedure. A judgment against the dece-
dent for the recovery of money must be filed or presented in the same
manner as other claims. If execution is actually levied upon the property
of the decedent before the decedent's death, the same may be sold for the
satisfaction thereof; and the officer making the sale must account to the
personal representative for any surplus in his hands. A judgment creditor
having a judgment which was rendered against the decedent in the
decedent's lifetime may redeem any real property of the decedent from
any sale under foreclosure or execution, in like manner and with like
effect as if the judgment debtor were still living.
