30.1-17-07. (3-607) Order restraining personal representative
1. On petition of any person who appears to have an interest in the estate, the court, by
temporary order, may restrain a personal representative from performing specified acts
of administration, disbursement, or distribution, or exercise of any powers or discharge
of any duties of the personal representative's office, or make any other order to secure
proper performance of the personal representative's duty, if it appears to the court that
the personal representative otherwise may take some action which would jeopardize
unreasonably the interest of the applicant or of some other interested person. Persons
with whom the personal representative may transact business may be made parties.
2. The matter shall be set for hearing within ten days unless the parties otherwise agree.
Notice, as the court directs, shall be given to the personal representative and the
personal representative's attorney of record, if any, and to any other parties named
defendant in the petition.
