14-3612. Termination of appointment; change of
testacy status
Except as otherwise ordered in formal proceedings, the probate of a will subsequent
to the appointment of a personal representative in intestacy or under a will which is
superseded by formal probate of another will, or the vacation of an informal probate of a
will subsequent to the appointment of the personal representative thereunder, does not
terminate the appointment of the personal representative although his powers may be
reduced as provided in section 14-3401. Termination occurs upon appointment in informal
or formal appointment proceedings of a person entitled to appointment under the later
assumption concerning testacy. If no request for new appointment is made within thirty
days after expiration of time for appeal from the order in formal testacy proceedings, or
from the informal probate, changing the assumption concerning testacy, the previously
appointed personal representative upon request may be appointed personal representative
under the subsequently probated will, or as in intestacy as the case may be.
