§560:3-717  Co-representatives; when
joint action required.  If two or more persons are appointed
co-representatives and unless the will provides otherwise, the concurrence of
all is required on all acts connected with the administration and distribution of
the estate.  This restriction does not apply when any co-representative
receives and receipts for property due the estate, when the concurrence of all
cannot readily be obtained in the time reasonably available for emergency
action necessary to preserve the estate, or when a co-representative has been
delegated to act for the others.  Persons dealing with a co-representative if
actually unaware that another has been appointed to serve or if advised by the
personal representative with whom they deal that the personal representative
has authority to act alone for any of the reasons mentioned herein, are as
fully protected as if the person with whom they dealt had been the sole
personal representative. [L 1996, c 288, pt of §1]
