It can be done privately and informally, outside the court, but an initial duty of the successor PR is to receive the accounting from the resigning PR and ensure that the resigning PR has turned over all assets, etc. Often this merely amounts to turning over some papers and maybe helping change over the estate bank account.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Once the resigning PR has fully accounted to her/his successor, the court should "discharge" her/him. The initial resignation should be "accepted" by the court and the new PR appointed, but the old PR isn't "discharged" until the Court is certain that all duties up to that point have been met.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>You do need a new petition, order, and oath for the new PR, just like at the beginning, with appropriate changes to reflect acceptance of resignation of old PR, and some instructions that old PR shall account to the new PR and shall be discharged, say, "upon filing by the new PR of a Receipt acknowledging receipt of a satisfactory accounting and possession and control of all estate property formerly managed by the old PR." Or some such like that.
