Ala. Code § 6-5-465: Survival - Substitution of Personal Representative Where No Action Filed.

If a claim upon which no action has been filed survives on the death of a defendant, substitution of his personal representative may be effected under the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure; but final judgment must not be entered against a personal representative if he objects until after the expiration of six months from the grant of letters testamentary or of administration.
