[WSBAPT] Releasing PR and appointing new one - proper forms and language

[Steve Waltar]

I have a case in which the existing PR listed in a Last Will and Testament (probate already begun) wants to resign.  Also, the only other listed alternate PR ants to decline.

I have two questions:  /requests for help.

First, Do I need a new petition and order and oath to get a new Administrative PR appointed?  If so, would anyone share pleadings with me?  I'm fine with the Declination by the alternate PR.

Second, what is the proper language to have when releasing the existing PR.  In other words, should there be language to "release" the existing PR from fiduciary duties, give the courts blessing or hold harmless since fiduciary duties are terminated, and of course to cancel the existing Letters Testamentary?
