K.S.A. 59-2232: Hearing for administration.

On the hearing of a petition for administration and proof thereof, the court shall appoint an administrator and fix the amount of his or her bond, as required by law. If the person appointed neglects for ten days after written notice of such appointment, served as the court may direct, to file the oath and bond required by law, such neglect shall be deemed a refusal to serve and the court, with or without notice, may appoint such other person or persons as may be entitled to administer such estate.
