§ 2-7-305 — Special administrator; powers and duties; no liability to creditors

The special administrator shall collect and preserve for the
personal representative all goods, chattels, debts and effects
of the decedent, and all incomes, rents, issues and profits,
claims and demands of the estate. He shall take the charge and
management of, enter upon, and preserve from damage, waste and
injury, the real estate. For any and all necessary purposes he
may commence and maintain or defend suits and other legal
proceedings as an administrator. He may sell the perishable
property as the court or officer may order to be sold, and
exercise such other powers as are conferred upon him by his
appointment, but in no case is he liable to any creditor on a
claim against the decedent.
