You don't. However, it will be virtually impossible for the judgment to be enforced if the plaintiff is deceased, unless they assigned that judgment to a third party.

Write to the executor of his estate. Threaten legal action if they do not comply. There is a statute in most jurisdictions which compels him to comply if you have satisfied the judgment. Your state Attorney General's Consumer Division can help you. Write a complaint.

The judgement is now part of the Estate. Not likely you can get it released unless it is in the original court papers.

You don't. The judgemnt stays. What happens is now that the main party id deseased, your "payment" is then forwarded to his estate, which is his family (wife, kids, etc.)
Just because he is dead doesn't mean you are forgiven your debt.
