§ 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.
