§560:3-607 Order restraining
personal representative. (a) On petition of any person who appears to
have an interest in the estate, the court by temporary order may restrain a
personal representative from performing specified acts of administration, disbursement,
or distribution, or exercise of any powers or discharge of any duties of
office, or make any other order to secure proper performance of the personal
representative's duty, if it appears to the court that the personal
representative otherwise may take some action which would jeopardize
unreasonably the interest of the applicant or of some other interested person.
Persons with whom the personal representative may transact business may be made
parties.
(b) The matter shall be set for hearing within
ten days unless the parties otherwise agree. Notice as the court directs shall
be given to the personal representative and the personal representative's
attorney of record, if any, and to any other parties named defendant in the
petition. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
