7-102. POSSESSION AND CONTROL OF ESTATE.

A PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE HAS A RIGHT TO AND SHALL
TAKE POSSESSION OR CONTROL OF THE ESTATE OF THE DECEDENT,
EXCEPT THAT PROPERTY IN THE POSSESSION OF THE PERSON
PRESUMPTIVELY ENTITLED TO IT AS HEIR OR LEGATEE SHALL BE
POSSESSED BY THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE ONLY WHEN
REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR PURPOSES OF ADMINISTRATION. THE
REQUEST BY A PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE FOR DELIVERY OF
PROPERTY POSSESSED BY THE HEIR OR LEGATEE IS CONCLUSIVE
EVIDENCE, IN AN ACTION AGAINST THE HEIR OR LEGATEE FOR
POSSESSION, THAT THE POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY BY THE
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE IS REASONABLY NECESSARY FOR
PURPOSES OF ADMINISTRATION. THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
MAY MAINTAIN AN ACTION TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF PROPERTY
OR TO DETERMINE ITS TITLE.
