§ 40a:9-113.

All writs and processes remaining unexecuted which were in the hands of a sheriff

at the time of his death, disability or disqualification, shall be executed or the

execution thereof completed by the acting sheriff, if there be one, otherwise the

newly appointed or elected sheriff. All advertisements of sales of real and personal property shall be continued and adjournments

of such sales may be made, of which all persons shall take notice without any other

than the usual notice required by law for such advertisements, adjournments and sales. Said advertisements, adjournments and sales shall be made by the acting sheriff,

if there be one, otherwise the newly appointed or elected sheriff as though the writs

and processes had been directed and delivered to such acting sheriff or newly appointed

or elected sheriff. The acting sheriff or newly appointed or elected sheriff shall be entitled to the

same fees for his services and be liable to all the penalties and consequences of

law for neglect of duty, as if the writs and processes had been originally directed

and delivered to him.
