75-3-716. Co-representatives -- When joint action required.
If two or more persons are appointed co-representatives and unless the will provides
otherwise, the concurrence of a majority 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 with him or if
advised by the personal representative with whom they deal that he 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.
Enacted by Chapter 150, 1975 General Session
