Appointment of substitute for fiduciary engaged in war service

If a person is named to act as a fiduciary in a will or in any instrument creating a trust, who has not accepted the appointment or has not qualified, or if a person acting as a fiduciary is engaged in war service, the court may suspend the right of that person to be appointed as the fiduciary or suspend the powers of the fiduciary while he is engaged in war service and until the further order of the court. The court may appoint a substituted fiduciary until the termination of the suspension and reinstatement of the fiduciary or the person named to act as fiduciary is appointed.
