Text

A person to whom general letters are issued first has exclusive authority under the letters
until the appointment is terminated or modified. If, through error, general letters are afterward
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.
