Section 229:
Grant of administration where executor has not renounced.
When a person appointed an
executor has not renounced the executorship, letters of administration shall not be granted to any other
person until a citation has been issued, calling upon the executor to accept or renounce his executorship:
Provided that, when one or more of several executors have proved a will, the Court may, on the death
of the survivor of those who have proved, grant letters of administration without citing those who have
not proved.
