Section 19-3-106

Tracing misapplied assets.

When assets are misapplied and can be traced in the hands of persons affected with notice of the misapplication, the trust attaches still to the assets, and the court will aid in restoring them to their legitimate purpose. A creditor of an estate may follow assets in the hands of legatees or distributees, though they receive them without notice.
