Section 6-303 - Effect of termination. - Maryland Statutes

§ 6-303. Effect of termination.
 

(a)  Powers and duties.- Termination ends the right and power pertaining to the office of personal representative as conferred by will or by the estates of decedents law. A personal representative whose appointment has been terminated shall: 

(1) Unless otherwise ordered by the court, perform acts necessary to protect property belonging to the estate; and 

(2) Deliver the property to the successor representative. 

(b)  Liability.- Termination does not discharge a personal representative from liability for transactions or omissions occurring before termination, or relieve him of the duty to protect property subject to his control, and to account for and deliver the property to his successor. Termination does not affect the personal jurisdiction to which he has given consent pursuant to § 6-101 in proceedings which may be commenced against him arising out of the performance of his duties as personal representative. 

(c)  Acts prior to termination.- All lawful acts of a personal representative before the termination of his appointment remain valid and effective.
