§58-231.
   
   Any executor or administrator may, at any time, by writing, filed in
   the district court, resign his appointment, having first settled his
   account and delivered up all the estate to the person whom the court
   shall appoint to receive the same. If, however, by reason of any
   delays in such settlement and delivering up of the estate, or for any
   other cause, the circumstances of the estate or the rights of those
   interested therein require it, the court may at any time before the
   settlement of accounts and delivering up of the estate is completed,
   revoke the letters of such executor or administrator, and appoint in
   his stead an administrator, either special or general, in the same
   manner as directed in relation to original letters of administration.
   The liability of the outgoing executor or administrator, or of the
   sureties on his bond, shall not be in any manner discharged, released
   or affected by such appointment or resignation.
