-594§ 1295. Revocation for embezzlement, waste or mismanagement If, upon the settlement of an account of an executor or administrator, it appears that he has embezzled, wasted or mismanaged the estate, the court shall revoke his letters. § 1296. Revocation for contempt When an executor or administrator is committed for contempt in disobeying a lawful order of the court, and has remained in custody for 30 days without obeying the order, or purging himself otherwise of the contempt, the court may, by order reciting the facts, and without further showing or notice, revoke his letters and appoint another person entitled thereto to succeed him. § 1297. Validity of acts prior to revocation All acts of an executor or administrator, as such, before the revocation of his letters testamentary or of administration, are as valid, to all intents and purposes, as if the executor or administrator had continued lawfully to execute the duties of his trust. Subchapter IX—Miscellaneous Provisions § 1321. Acts of remaining executors or administrators where one or more absent or disqualified Where there are two executors or administrators, the act of one alone is effectual, if the other is absent from the Canal Zone, or laboring under a legal disability from serving, or if he has given his coexecutor or coadministrator authority, in writing, to act for both. Where there are more than two executors or administrators, the act of a majority is valid. § 1322. Transcript of court minutes as evidence A transcript from the records of the court, showing the appointment of a person as executor or administrator, together with the certificate of the clerk, under his hand and the seal of his court, that the person has given bond and been qualified, and that letters testamentary or of administration have been issued to him and have not been revoked, has the same effect in evidence as the letters themselves.
