Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:17-81

  • Executor: A male person named in a will to carry out the decedent
  • person: includes corporations, companies, associations, societies, firms, partnerships and joint stock companies as well as individuals, unless restricted by the context to an individual as distinguished from a corporate entity or specifically restricted to one or some of the above enumerated synonyms and, when used to designate the owner of property which may be the subject of an offense, includes this State, the United States, any other State of the United States as defined infra and any foreign country or government lawfully owning or possessing property within this State. See New Jersey Statutes 1:1-2
An execution creditor, his executor or administrator, may, when an execution debtor dies after execution has been issued against his person, but before the judgment under which it issued has been satisfied, have new execution against the goods and chattels and real estate of the execution debtor which he might have had if such debtor had not died.

Under the new execution, no real estate of such execution debtor shall be sold, which, at any time after the judgment against such debtor under which the original execution issued, has been sold by him, bona fide, and of which the proceeds of the sale have been either paid or secured to be paid to any of his creditors, with their privity or consent, in discharge of his debts, or some part thereof. Nor shall there be sold under such execution any real estate of the deceased debtor, which shall have been sold by reason of any other judgment against him.
