Section 43-2-517 Appointment and compensation of special guardian. The jurisdiction of the probate court to make partial or final settlements or distributions of the estates of decedents is not affected by the fact that the executor or administrator making the settlement is also guardian of any heir or distributee, devisee or legatee of the decedent; but in such case the court must appoint a special guardian, without bond, to represent such heir or distributee, devisee or legatee on the settlement and distribution; and, upon final settlement, any decree to which such ward may be entitled must be rendered against the executor or administrator in the name of the special guardian for the use of the ward; and thereafter the executor or administrator, in the capacity of guardian, shall be accountable for such decree.
