Whenever, upon the application of a creditor or other person interested in the estate of a deceased person, it is found by the court of probate having jurisdiction of the estate that the granting of administration on the estate or the probating of the will of the deceased will be delayed, or that it is necessary for the protection of the estate of the deceased, the court may, with or without notice, appoint a temporary administrator to hold and preserve the estate until the appointment of an administrator or the probating of the will.
The court shall require from such administrator a probate bond. If the court deems it more expedient, it may order any state marshal or constable to take possession of the estate until the appointment of an administrator or executor.
