If the judgment was rendered prior to the attorney's death, then you must adhere to the court ruling yourself. If you feel the need of an attorney to represent you in carrying out the order, you must employ one. If the attorney died while the matter was still in litigation, you DEFINITELY need the services of another attorney to take over the case. The court will, in all probability, grant a continuance to you for this.
