338 Deceased estates
(1) It is the duty of the manager for a law practice to cooperate with the legal personal representative of a deceased legal practitioner associate of the law practice for the orderly winding up of the estate.
(2) The manager is not, in the exercise of powers and other functions as manager, a legal personal representative of the deceased legal practitioner associate, but nothing in this subsection prevents the manager from exercising powers or other functions as a legal personal representative if otherwise appointed as representative.
(3) Subject to subsections (1) and (2) and to the terms of the manager’s appointment, if the manager was appointed before the death of the legal practitioner associate, the manager’s appointment, powers and other functions are not affected by the death.
