733.601 Time of accrual of duties and powers.--The duties and powers of a personal representative commence upon his or her appointment. The powers of a personal representative relate back in time to give acts by the person appointed, occurring before appointment and beneficial to the estate, the same effect as those occurring thereafter. Before issuance of letters, a person named executor in a will may carry out written instructions of the decedent relating to the decedent's body and funeral and burial arrangements. A personal representative may ratify and accept acts on behalf of the estate done by others when the acts would have been proper for a personal representative.
