otherwise ordered in formal proceedings, the probate of a will subsequent to the appointment of
a personal representative in intestacy or under a will which is superseded by formal probate of
another will, or the vacation of an informal probate of a will subsequent to the appointment of
the personal representative thereunder, does not terminate the appointment of the personal
representative although his powers may be reduced as provided in section 15-12-401.
Termination occurs upon appointment in informal or formal appointment proceedings of a
person entitled to appointment under the later assumption concerning testacy. If no request for
new appointment is made within thirty days after expiration of time for appeal from the order in
formal testacy proceedings, or from the informal probate, changing the assumption concerning
testacy, the previously appointed personal representative upon request may be appointed
personal representative under the subsequently probated will, or as in intestacy as the case may
be.
