75-3-608. Termination of appointment -- General.
Termination of appointment of a personal representative occurs as indicated in Sections
75-3-609 through 75-3-612. Termination ends the right and power pertaining to the office of
personal representative as conferred by this code or any will, except that a personal
representative, at any time prior to distribution or until restrained or enjoined by court order, may
perform acts necessary to protect the estate and may deliver the assets to a successor
representative. Termination does not discharge a personal representative from liability for
transactions or omissions occurring before termination or relieve him of the duty to preserve
assets subject to his control, to account therefor, and to deliver the assets. Termination does not
affect the jurisdiction of the court over the personal representative but terminates his authority to
represent the estate in any pending or future proceeding.
Enacted by Chapter 150, 1975 General Session
