If judgment shall be recovered by plaintiff on prosecution of bond pursuant to section 3A:24-31 of this title, it shall be in the penal sum of the bond. Upon execution issued, the sheriff or other officer shall levy on property of the defendants to the amount of the judgment as in other cases.
All money collected shall be paid to the court, to which the executor or administrator is accountable, to be applied toward paying the residue of the debts, expenses and allowances remaining after the personal estate has been exhausted therefor, and to pay the costs and damages of the executor or administrator individually sustained.
If thereafter a surplus remains, the same shall be repaid to the defendants from whom the judgment was collected.
