§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.
