§ 3-3-709 — Judgments; execution and levy

(a) When a judgment has been entered against the ward
prior to the appointment of a conservator, no execution shall
issue thereon after the conservator is appointed unless the
judgment is for the recovery of real or personal property or the
enforcement of a lien. A judgment against the ward for the
recovery of money shall be filed with the clerk as any other
claim. If execution is levied upon any property of the ward
before the appointment of a conservator, the property may be
sold for the satisfaction of the judgment and the officer making
the sale shall account to the conservator for any surplus
realized from the sale.
(b) A judgment rendered against a ward for whom a
conservator is appointed after verdict or decision on an issue
of fact, but before judgment is entered, shall be filed with the
clerk as any other claim.
(c) No execution shall issue upon nor any levy be made
against any property of the estate of a ward under any judgment
against the ward or conservator, unless the judgment is for the
recovery of real or personal property or the enforcement of a
lien.
(d) This section shall not be construed to prevent the
enforcement of a mortgage, pledge or other lien upon property in
an appropriate proceeding.
