California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 3 — Of the Parties to Civil Actions, Chapter 1 — General Provisions, Section 368.5

An action or proceeding does not abate by the transfer of an interest in the action or proceeding or by any other transfer of an interest. The action or proceeding may be continued in the name of the original party, or the court may allow the person to whom the transfer is made to be substituted in the action or proceeding.

Notes

Establishes that transferring an interest in an action or proceeding does not cause the matter to abate. Allows the case to continue in the original party’s name or permits the court to substitute the person receiving the transferred interest, without requiring substitution merely because the interest changed hands.
