Section 38

Where an administrator who has given a bond under this Act or any written law hereby repealed is in possession of any part of the estate of the testator or intestate and is prevented from fully administering the estate by reason of inability to ascertain or to communicate with the persons beneficially entitled to the residue in his hands, he may exhibit in the Court an account showing how the estate has been administered, and may, after the account has been verified as the Court may direct, with the leave of the Court pay into the Court, or if the Court so directs to a trust corporation, the residue in his hands; and after any such payment the Court shall, unless good cause is shown to the contrary, discharge the administrator and his surety or sureties (if any) from the obligations of the said bond.
