The conviction shall not disqualify the nominee from acting as personal representative unless the court finds that the facts underlying the conviction are substantially similar to facts which would constitute grounds for removal of a personal representative under ORS § 113.195 (2), and the court has reasonable grounds to believe that such person will be unfaithful to or neglectful of the trust.
