(b) An order closing an estate as provided in section 524.3-1001 or 524.3-1002 terminates an appointment of a personal representative. (c) A personal representative may resign the position by filing a written statement of resignation with the registrar after having given at least 15 days written notice to the persons known to be interested in the estate.
