Text

Every custodian of a will, within thirty days after receipt of

information that the maker thereof is dead, must deliver the same to

the district court having jurisdiction of the estate, or to the

executor named therein. A failure to comply with the provisions of

this section makes the person failing responsible for all damages

sustained by any one injured thereby.
