27 Special administrator to make certain affidavits
The person applying for grant of special letters of administration
must, in addition to the oath usually taken by administrators, satisfy
the Supreme Court by affidavit that the executor or administrator of
the estate of the deceased person is resident out of the jurisdiction,
and that—
(a) the applicant is thereby delayed in recovering or obtaining
payment of money or the possession of goods and chattels, or
real estate, to which he or she is by law entitled; or
(b) the estate is liable to loss or waste.
