Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
An action brought upon the bond of any personal representative, special administrator, guardian or trustee shall not be
barred or dismissed by reason that a former action was prosecuted on the bond, but any payment of damages made or collected
from the sureties or any of them on any judgment in an action
previously begun by any party on the bond shall be applied as a
total or partial discharge of the liability thereon; and such partial
defense may be pleaded by answer or supplemental answer as
may be proper. The court may stay execution on any judgment
rendered in the action until the final determination of any other
action commenced upon the bond.
