(1) Every person to
whom probate or administration is granted shall be under a duty to —
(a)
collect and get in the real and personal estate of the deceased and administer
it according to law;
(b) file
an inventory of the estate of the deceased, and pass his accounts relating
thereto within such time, and from time to time, and in such manner as may be
prescribed by the rules or as the Court may order;
(c) when
required to do so by the Court, deliver up the grant of probate or
administration to the Court.
(2) The order of the
Court allowing any account shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of
the same, and shall, after the expiration of 3 years from the date of such
order, operate as a release to the person filing the same, except so far as it
is shown by some person interested therein that a wilful or fraudulent error,
omission, or entry has been made in such account.
