§ 1907. Powers and Duties of Special Administrator.

COL120106

The special administrator must take possession of all of the real and

personal property of the decedent, and preserve it from damage, waste

and injury, and must collect all claims, rents, and other income belonging

to the estate; and for any such purposes may commence and maintain or

defend suits and other legal proceedings as such special administrator.

The special administrator may sell perishable property and exercise such

other powers as are conferred upon him by his appointment, but, except

when the powers, duties and obligations of an administrator are

conferred upon him as provided in Section 1911 of this Title, he is not

liable to an action by any creditor on a claim against the decedent. The

special administrator may obtain leave to borrow money, or lease or

mortgage real property, in the same manner as an administrator.
