6-203. Co-personal representatives; when joint action required.

When two or more persons are appointed co-personal representa-
tives, the concurrence of all is required on all acts connected with
the administration and distribution of the estate; except: (a)
where the act involved is receiving or receipting for property due
the estate, (b) where all personal representatives cannot readily be
consulted in the time reasonably available for emergency action,
(c) where a personal representative has validly delegated to a co-
personal representative his power to act, or (d) where the will or
any statute provides otherwise. Persons dealing with a co-personal
representative without knowledge that he is not the sole personal
representative shall be as fully protected as if the person with
whom they dealt had been the sole personal representative.

6-204. Powers of surviving co-personal representative.

Unless the will otherwise provides: (a) every power exercisable
by co-personal representatives may be exercised by the survivors or
survivor of them when the appointment of one is terminated; and
(b) where one of two or more nominated as co-personal representa-
tives is not appointed, those appointed may exercise all the powers
incident to the office.

Part 3—Suspension and Termination of Powers.
6-301. Suspension.

On written application of any interested person the Court may
suspend any of the powers and duties of the personal representative
in accordance with the provisions of Rule BB Injunction of the
Maryland Rules.

6-802. Termination—generally.

The appointment of a personal representative shall be terminated
in accordance with Subtitle X and may be sooner terminated by his
death, disability, resignation or removal as provided in Sections
6-303 through 6-307.

6-303. Termination—effect.

(a)    Powers and duties. Termination ends the right and power
pertaining to the office of personal representative as conferred by
will or by this Article. However, a personal representative whose
appointment has been terminated shall (i) unless otherwise ordered
by the Court, perform acts necessary to protect property belonging
to the estate and (ii) deliver such property to the successor rep-
resentative.

(b)    Liability. Termination does not discharge a personal repre-
sentative from liability for transactions or omissions occurring be-
fore termination, or relieve him of the duty to protect property
subject to his control, to account therefor and to deliver such prop-
erty to his successor. Termination shall not affect the personal
jurisdiction to which he has given consent pursuant to Section 6-101
in proceedings which may be commenced against him arising out of
the performance of his duties as personal representative.
