execution thereon limited.

When any judgment has been rendered against the decedent in his

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.
