The collection of the judgments of courts of record shall not be delayed nor hindered by the death of the plaintiff or person in whose name the judgment exists, but the executor or administrator, as the case may be, may cause the letters testamentary or of administration to be recorded in the court in which the judgment exists, after which execution may issue and proceedings had thereon in the name of the executor or administrator as such, in the same manner that could or might be done, if the judgment exists or remains in the name and in favor of the executor or administrator in his capacity as such executor or administrator.
