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.
