Section 131. Assignment; effect thereof  


Latest version.
  • 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.
