The authority of the public administrator ceases upon termination of his or her tenure in the office of public administrator, and his or her authority vests in the successor in the office of public administrator. If letters have been issued to “the public administrator” of the county, the letters are sufficient to authorize action by the successor and new letters need not be issued.
