by affidavit.

The person paying, delivering, transferring, or issuing personal

property or the evidence thereof to the successor or successors

named in the affidavit is discharged and released to the same extent

as if the person dealt with a personal representative of the

decedent. Such person is not required to inquire into the truth of

any statement in the affidavit. If any person to whom an affidavit

is delivered refuses to pay, deliver, transfer, or issue any

personal property or evidence thereof, it may be recovered or its

payment, delivery, transfer, or issuance compelled upon proof of

their right in a proceeding brought for the purpose by or on behalf

of the persons entitled thereto. Any person to whom payment,

delivery, transfer, or issuance is made is answerable and

accountable therefor to any personal representative of the estate or

to any other person having a superior right.
