If a personal representative of an estate dies or resigns or the letters are revoked before the settlement of the estate, successor letters of administration shall be granted to a person to whom the letters would have been granted if the original letters had not been obtained, and the successor personal representative shall perform like duties and incur like liabilities as the preceding personal representative, unless the decedent provided otherwise in a duly probated will or unless the Court orders otherwise. [Res. 06-R-53 § 8.0(I), 5/3/2006.]
