When any judgment has been rendered for or against the testator or intestate in his lifetime, no execution shall issue thereon after his death, except:
1. In case of the death of the judgment creditor, upon the application of his executor or administrator, or successor in interests.
2. In case of the death of the judgment debtor, if the judgment be for the recovery of real or personal property, or the enforcement of a lien thereon.
A judgment against the decedent for the recovery of money, must be presented to the executor or administrator, like any other claim. If the execution is actually levied upon any property of the decedent before his death, the same may be sold for the satisfaction thereof, and the officer making the sale must account to the executor or administrator for any surplus in his hands.
R.L.1910, § 6351.
