DCD - Debtor and Creditor
Article 5 - Judgment Debtor's Discharge From Imprisonment
131 - Assignment; Effect Thereof.

§ 131. Assignment; effect thereof. The assignment must be acknowledged
  or proved, and certified, in like manner as a deed to be recorded in the
  county,  and  must be recorded in the clerk's office of the county where
  the petitioner is imprisoned. Where it appears,  from  the  schedule  or
  otherwise,  that  real  property  will pass thereby, the assignment must
  also be recorded as a deed, in the proper office for recording deeds, of
  each county where the real property is situated. The assignment vests in
  the trustee or trustees, for the benefit of the  judgment  creditors  in
  the executions, by virtue of which the petitioner is imprisoned, all the
  estate,  right,  title,  and  interest  of  the petitioner in and to the
  property, so directed to be assigned.
