§ 1417. Prosecution of action

A person having a contingent or other claim against a deceased person may prosecute the same against the executor, administrator, heirs, devisees or legatees. In such case, an action commenced against the deceased before death may be prosecuted to final judgment. A claimant having a lien on the real or personal estate of the deceased, by attachment previous to death, on obtaining judgment, may have execution against such real or personal estate.
