Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A personal representative may resign at any time without the probate court's consent. However, they must follow the proper procedures for resigning and may be held liable for any damages that result from their resignation. The other options, such as becoming insane or the best interest of the estate, can be reasons for removal of a personal representative. If a will is found after letters testamentary are granted, the personal representative may need to be replaced if the will significantly changes the administration of the estate.
