Terms Used In Alabama Code 6-9-193

  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • Guardian: A person legally empowered and charged with the duty of taking care of and managing the property of another person who because of age, intellect, or health, is incapable of managing his (her) own affairs.
  • Plaintiff: The person who files the complaint in a civil lawsuit.
  • Trustee: A person or institution holding and administering property in trust.

When a plaintiff dies after the entry of a judgment in his favor and such judgment is unsatisfied, execution may issue thereon in favor of the personal representative of such deceased plaintiff, and in like manner when a judgment is entered in favor of an executor, administrator, guardian or trustee who dies, resigns, is removed, or whose authority ceases from any cause, execution may issue in favor of the successor without a revival.
