CHAPTER 556 — SUITS BY AND AGAINST ADMINISTRATORS
Section 556:8 Effect of Insolvency.
No action shall be begun against an administrator after the estate is decreed to be administered as insolvent, unless the deceased was insured for the matter which is the subject of the action, and, in such case, recovery shall be limited to the coverage of the insurance policy or policies. No action against the deceased or his administrator pending in court when such decree is made shall be further prosecuted therein, unless by leave of the court in which it is pending.
