2-6-119. Duty of custodian to deliver will; failure to comply; order to third persons.
(a) Every custodian of a will, within ten (10) days after receipt of information that the maker thereof is dead, shall deliver the same to the clerk of the district court having jurisdiction of the estate or to the executor named therein. A failure to comply with the provisions of this section makes the person failing responsible for all damages sustained by anyone injured thereby.
(b) If it is brought to the attention of the court that any will is in the possession of a third person, and the court or the commissioner in vacation is satisfied that the information is correct, an order shall be issued and served upon the person having possession of the will, and if he neglects or refuses to produce it in obedience to the order he may be punished by the court for contempt.
