§58-394.
The person paying, delivering, transferring, or issuing personal
property or the evidence thereof to the successor or successors named
in the affidavit is discharged and released to the same extent as if
the person dealt with a personal representative of the decedent. Such
person is not required to inquire into the truth of any statement in
the affidavit. If any person to whom an affidavit is delivered refuses
to pay, deliver, transfer, or issue any personal property or evidence
thereof, it may be recovered or its payment, delivery, transfer, or
issuance compelled upon proof of their right in a proceeding brought
for the purpose by or on behalf of the persons entitled thereto. Any
person to whom payment, delivery, transfer, or issuance is made is
answerable and accountable therefor to any personal representative of
the estate or to any other person having a superior right.
