TITLE 15

UNIFORM PROBATE CODE

CHAPTER 3

PROBATE OF WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION

PART 7.

DUTIES AND POWERS OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES

15-3-702.  Priority among different letters. A person to whom general letters are issued first has exclusive authority under the letters until his appointment is terminated or modified. If, through error, general letters are afterwards issued to another, the first appointed representative may recover any property of the estate in the hands of the representative subsequently appointed, but the acts of the latter done in good faith before notice of the first letters are not void for want of validity of appointment.
