If, after granting letters of administration on the ground of intestacy, a will of the decedent is duly proved and allowed by the court, the letters of administration must be revoked and the power of the administrator ceases, and the administrator shall render an account of his or her administration within such time as the court directs. In such a case, the executor of the will, or the administrator with the will annexed, is entitled to demand, maintain an action for and collect all the goods, chattels and effects of the decedent, remaining unadministered, and may prosecute to final judgment any action commenced by or against the administrator before the revocation of that administrator’s letters.
