2005 Rhode Island Code - § 33-11-2 — Effect of administration de bonis non.

    When an executor or administrator after qualification dies, resigns or is removed, without having fully administered the estate, and a new administrator is appointed, the new administration shall be deemed to be a continuation of the preceding administration, and all limitations which could be claimed for or against the predecessor may be claimed for or against the successor; provided, however, that the time when there is no representative of the estate shall not be reckoned as part of the periods for the filing, or proof of claims, or limitations for bringing suits; and these periods, and generally the periods referred to where no provision to the contrary is made, shall be reckoned exclusive of this time.
