Powers and duties of public administrator.)
(a) |
When a person dies owning any real or personal
estate in this |
State and there is no person in this State
having a prior right |
to administer his estate, the public
administrator of the |
county of which the decedent was a
resident, or of the county |
in which his estate is situated, if
the decedent was a |
nonresident of this State, may take such
measures as he deems |
proper to protect and secure the estate
from waste, loss or |
embezzlement until letters of office
on the estate are issued |
to the person entitled thereto or
until a demand for the |
removal of the personal estate from
this State is made by a |
nonresident representative pursuant
to the authority granted |
by this Act. When letters of office
are issued to the public |
administrator, he has the same
powers and duties as other |
representatives of decedents'
estates appointed under this Act |
until he is discharged or
his authority is sooner terminated by |
order of court.
