A fiduciary may be discharged from the further duties of his office by the court.
The court shall examine into the matter and if sufficient cause appears, the court may grant the discharge unless it will be prejudicial to the estate or persons interested therein or for any other reason the discharge ought not to be granted.
A discharge so granted shall discharge the fiduciary of all the further duties of his office except accounting for and paying over the money and assets with which he is chargeable by virtue of his office.
If the fiduciary is discharged, the court shall make orders respecting his commissions as may be just and equitable.
