§ 313 — Married woman as executrix or administratrix; participation and liability of husband

Any executrix or administratrix, being a married woman, may act in such representative capacity as though she was a femme sole, and the fact of marriage shall not give her husband any right to participate in any manner in the management, direction and settlement of the estate of the deceased, nor shall he be liable for any act or default of hers as such executrix or administratrix, unless he is a party to her bond as such.
