From Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) [bouvier]:

  TRANSFERENCE, Scotch law. The name of an action by which a suit, which was 
  pending at the time the parties died, is transferred from the deceased to 
  his representatives, in the same condition in which it stood formerly. If it 
  be the pursuer who is dead, the action is called a transference active; if 
  the defender, it is a transference passive. Ersk. Prin. B. 4, t. 1, n. 32.
