Section 43-2-842 Persons dealing with personal representative; protection. A person
who, in good faith, either assists a personal representative or deals with the personal representative
for value is protected as if the personal representative properly exercised the power. The
fact that a person knowingly deals with a personal representative does not alone require the
person to inquire into the existence of a power or the propriety of its exercise. Except for
restrictions on powers of personal representatives which are endorsed on the letters, no provision
in any will or order of court purporting to limit the power of a personal representative is
effective except as to persons with actual knowledge thereof. A person is not bound to see
to the proper application of estate assets paid or delivered to a personal representative.
The protection here expressed extends to instances in which some procedural irregularity or
jurisdictional defect occurred in proceedings leading to the issuance...

Section 43-8-49 Advancements. If a person dies intestate as to all his estate, property
which he gave in his lifetime to an heir is treated as an advancement against the latter's
share of the estate only if declared in a contemporaneous writing by the decedent or acknowledged
in writing by the heir to be an advancement. For this purpose the property advanced is valued
as of the time the heir came into possession or enjoyment of the property or as of the time
of death of the decedent, whichever first occurs. If the recipient of the property fails to
survive the decedent, the property is not taken into account in computing the intestate share
to be received by the recipient's issue, unless the declaration or acknowledgment provides
otherwise. (Acts 1982, No. 82-399, p. 578, §2-110.)...
