        Amends the Code of Civil Procedure.  Provides that when  a  party      
   or  potential party to an action dies, the court may appoint a special      
   representative for the deceased for that suit without the  appointment      
   being  made  in  separate  probate  proceedings.   Provides  that  the      
   appointment shall be made upon the verified motion of a party entitled      
   to participate in the deceased's estate or upon the motion of a person      
   filing   an   action   against   the   estate  and  that  the  special      
   representative shall give notice of  the  proceedings  to  the  heirs,      
   legatees,  and  executors.  Provides that the proceeds from a judgment      
   or settlement for the estate shall be distributed  under  the  Probate      
   Act  of  1975  and  that the recovery of a judgment against the estate      
   shall be limited to the amount of the  estate's  liability  insurance.      
   Excludes  a  pending  action  under  the Wrongful Death Act from these      
   provisions.
