14-3613. Successor personal
representative


Articles 3 and 4 of this chapter govern proceedings for appointment of a personal
representative to succeed one whose appointment has been terminated. After appointment
and qualification, a successor personal representative may be substituted in all actions
and proceedings to which the former personal representative was a party, and no notice,
process or claim which was given or served upon the former personal representative need
be given to or served upon the successor in order to preserve any position or right the
person giving the notice or filing the claim may thereby have obtained or preserved with
reference to the former personal representative. Except as otherwise ordered by the
court, the successor personal representative has the powers and duties in respect to the
continued administration which the former personal representative would have had if his
appointment had not been terminated.
