§ 1415. Supplementary letters, executors not named in letters not to act

If the disability of an infant or a noncitizen named as an executor in

a will be removed before the administration of the estate is completed

he shall be entitled on petition showing the facts to supplementary

letters testamentary to be issued in the same manner as the original

letters to join in the completion of the administration of the estate

with the person or persons previously appointed. A person named in a

will as executor shall be deemed to be superseded by the issue to

another person of letters testamentary and shall have no power or

authority as executor until he or she appears and qualifies and letters

testamentary are issued to him or her.
