2-7-710. Judgments rendered against decedent before death; execution thereon limited.
When any judgment has been rendered against the decedent in his lifetime, no execution shall issue thereon after his death unless the judgment is 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 shall be filed with the clerk like any other claim. If execution is levied upon any property of the decedent before his death, the property may be sold for the satisfaction thereof, and the officer making the sale shall account to the personal representative for any surplus in his hands.
