Section 556:8 Effect of Insolvency. - New Hampshire Statutes

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. If an action is thus prosecuted and judgment is rendered for the plaintiff, the judgment shall be certified to the probate court, and the amount of the judgment shall be added to the list of claims.
