wholly ceases and without further renunciation, the representation to the testator and the administration of his
property may go and be committed as if that person had not been appointed executor.
27. (1) Every will or copy of a will to which an executor or an administrator with the will annexed is sworn shall
be marked by the executor or administrator and by the person before whom he is sworn.
Codicils.
(2) The provisions respecting wills shall apply equally to codicils.
28. (1) In every case where evidence is directed or allowed to be given by affidavit, the Court may require the
personal attendance of the deponent, if within the jurisdiction, before the Court, to be examined viva voce
respecting the matter of his affidavit.
(2) The examination may take place before any affidavit has been sworn or prepared, if the Court thinks fit.
(Administration not with Will)
29. (1) The Court in granting letters of administration shall proceed as far as may be, as in cases of probate.
(2) The Court shall ascertain the time and place of the deceased's death and the value of the property to be
covered by the administration.
30. (1) The person to whom administration is granted shall give a bond, with two or more responsible sureties, to
the Probate Registrar of the Court, conditioned for duly collecting, getting in and administering the personal
property of the deceased, such sureties, to be to the satisfaction of the Probate Registrar.
(2) The Court may, if it thinks fit, take one surety only.
(3) The bond shall be in a penalty of double the amount under which the personal estate of the deceased is
sworn, unless the Court in any case thinks it expedient to reduce the amount.
(4) The Court may also in any case direct that more bonds than one shall be given, so as to limit the liability of
any surety to such amount as the Court thinks reasonable.
31. The Probate Registrar may, on being satisfied that the condition of the bond has been broken, assign it to
some person and that person may thereupon sue on the bond in his own name, as if it had been originally given
to him instead of the Probate Registrar and may recover thereon, as trustee for persons interested, the full amount
recoverable in respect of any breach of the bond.
32. Any person claiming to be a creditor or legatee, or the next of kin, or one of the next of kin, of a deceased,
may apply for and obtain a summons from the Court requiring the executor or administrator (as the case may be)
of the deceased to attend before the Court and show cause why an order for the administration of the property of
the deceased should not be made.
33. (1) On proof of service of the summons or on appearance of the executor or administrator and on proof of all
such other things (if any) as the Court may direct, the Court may, if it thinks fit, make an order for the
administration of the property of the deceased.
(2) The Court shall have discretionary power to make or refuse the order or to give any special directions
respecting the carriage or execution of it and in the case of applications for the order by two or more different
persons or classes of persons, to grant it to such one or more of the claimants or classes of claimants, as the
Court thinks fit.
(3) If the Court thinks fit the carriage of the order may subsequently be given to such person and on such terms,
as the Court think fit.
34. On making the order, or at any time afterwards, the Court may, if it thinks fit, make any further or other order
which may appear requisite to secure the proper collection, recovery for safe-keeping and disposal of the
property or any part thereof.
