§560:3-612  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personal representative in intestacy or under a will which is superseded by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 the
personal representative's powers may be reduced as provided in section
560:3-401.  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. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
