§ 905 Actions and proceedings maintainable by or against a temporary administrator 1

A temporary administrator is someone appointed by the court to handle a person's property for a short time, usually while bigger questions are being sorted out (like when someone is missing or their estate is still being settled). This rule explains what that temporary administrator can do and what can be done to them in court.

The temporary administrator has the power to go to court to collect and protect property that belongs to the decedent, missing person, or internee. This includes taking possession of things, keeping them safe, and even asking a court to decide who actually owns certain property if there's a dispute.

The rule also allows other people to bring lawsuits against the temporary administrator. If someone believes the decedent, missing person, or internee owed them money or had some other legal responsibility, they can sue the temporary administrator directly. The law treats this almost the same as if they were suing a regular administrator, so the temporary administrator can be held responsible for handling these claims while managing the property.
