(a) |
| 8 | | When a person dies owning any real or personal
estate in this |
| 9 | | State and there is no person in this State
having a prior right |
| 10 | | to administer his estate, the public
administrator of the |
| 11 | | county of which the decedent was a
resident, or of the county |
| 12 | | in which his estate is situated, if
the decedent was a |
| 13 | | nonresident of this State, may take such
measures as he deems |
| 14 | | proper to protect and secure the estate
from waste, loss or |
| 15 | | embezzlement until letters of office
on the estate are issued |
| 16 | | to the person entitled thereto or
until a demand for the |
| 17 | | removal of the personal estate from
this State is made by a |
| 18 | | nonresident representative pursuant
to the authority granted |
| 19 | | by this Act. When letters of office
are issued to the public |
| 20 | | administrator, he has the same
powers and duties as other |
| 21 | | representatives of decedents'
estates appointed under this Act |
| 22 | | until he is discharged or
his authority is sooner terminated by |
| 23 | | order of court.
