Rule 23 Delinquent fiduciaries

Whenever it comes to the attention of the Register of Wills that there is an apparent irregularity or default in the administration of a proceeding under these Rules, including but not limited to the failure to file, within a prescribed time, a proper inventory or account, or that there is an insufficiency in the amount or security of an undertaking, the Register of Wills shall immediately notify the fiduciary that, unless the irregularity or default is corrected forthwith, the fiduciary shall be subject to removal. If the irregularity is not remedied, the Register of Wills shall report said irregularity to the Court. Following such notification the Court shall set a summary hearing, direct notice of the hearing to the fiduciary and, at the hearing, remove the fiduciary and appoint a successor, unless, for good cause shown, failure to correct the irregularity or default is deemed excusable.
