Section 10

If the person entitled to probate or letters of administration be absent from the State, probate or letters of administration, as the case may be, may be granted to his duly constituted attorney:

Provided that there be no other person equally entitled to probate or letters of administration present, willing and competent to act.

An attorney holding probate or letters of administration shall be subject to the same liabilities in all respects as an executor or administrator in his own right.
