Section 15. The powers of the temporary executor or temporary administrator with the will annexed shall cease upon the approval of the executor or administrator c. t. a., or upon the earlier entry of a decree terminating such powers and in any event at the expiration of ninety days from the appointment of the temporary executor or temporary administrator with the will annexed unless prior to such expiration, the court upon such prior notice, if any, as it considers reasonable, may extend the appointment of the temporary executor or temporary administrator with the will annexed for one or more terms not to exceed ninety days each, but no such extension shall take effect until the temporary executor or temporary administrator with the will annexed shall return an inventory of all the deceased’s real and personal property which shall have come to his possession or knowledge, and such extension shall terminate upon the appointment of an executor.

The probate court may, with or without notice, discharge a temporary executor or temporary administrator with the will annexed.
