N.D. Cent. Code § 30.1-18-17
30.1-18-17. (3-717) Corepresentatives - When joint action required
30.1-18-17. (3-717) Corepresentatives - When joint action required
If two or more persons are appointed corepresentatives and unless the will provides
otherwise, the concurrence of all is required on all acts connected with the administration and
distribution of the estate. This restriction does not apply when any corepresentative receives
and receipts for property due the estate, when the concurrence of all cannot readily be obtained
in the time reasonably available for emergency action necessary to preserve the estate, or when
a corepresentative has been delegated to act for the others. Persons dealing with a
corepresentative, if actually unaware that another has been appointed to serve with the
corepresentative or if advised by the personal representative with whom they deal that the
representative has authority to act alone for any of the reasons mentioned herein, are as fully
protected as if the person with whom they dealt had been the sole personal representative.
