Text

A person to whom general
letters are issued first has exclusive authority under the letters until his
appointment is terminated or modified. If, through error, general letters are
afterwards issued to another, the first appointed representative may recover any
property of the estate in the hands of the representative subsequently appointed,
but the acts of the latter done in good faith before notice of the first letters are not
void for want of validity of appointment.
