The public administrator, immediately upon taking charge of any estate except one over which the administrator has taken charge under the order of the district court for the purpose of administering the same, shall file in the office of the district court a notice that the administrator has taken charge of the estate. If a public administrator fails to file the notice, the administrator shall forfeit and pay to the persons entitled to the estate a sum not exceeding two hundred dollars and the court may remove the public administrator from office. The forfeiture shall be recovered before the district court on motion and after reasonable notice of the motion has been given to the public administrator.
