§58-234.
   
   A. Whenever the judge has reason to believe, from his own knowledge or
   from credible information, that any executor or administrator has
   wasted, embezzled or mismanaged, or is about to waste, or embezzle the
   property of the estate committed to his charge, or has committed or is
   about to commit a fraud upon the estate, or is incompetent to act or
   has wrongfully neglected the estate, or has long neglected to perform
   any act as such executor or administrator, he must, by an order
   entered upon the minutes of the court, suspend the powers of such
   executor or administrator until the matter is investigated.
   
   B. If the judge determines on his own motion, or upon application by
   an interested party and upon proper showing, that an executor or
   administrator is subject to a conflict of interest which substantially
   impairs the executor's or administrator's ability to perform his
   duties as required by law, the judge shall suspend the powers of the
   executor or administrator with respect to the subject matter of the
   conflict of interest and appoint a special administrator to act with
   respect to such subject matter. The executor or administrator shall
   remain empowered to act with respect to all other matters.
   
   C. The judge of the district court shall require each and every
   administrator, executor or guardian to make a report at least once in
   each year, showing the condition of the estate, and of all property,
   notes, monies, and other assets in his hands and the use that has been
   made thereof during the past year.
