A personal representative shall proceed expeditiously with the settlement and distribution of a decedent's estate and, except as otherwise specified or ordered in regard to a supervised personal representative, do so without adjudication, order, or direction of the court, but he may invoke the jurisdiction of the court, in proceedings authorized by this code, to resolve questions concerning the estate or its administration.

ANNOTATION
A personal representative has the same standing to sue as the decedent had immediately prior to his or her death, except for proceedings that do not survive the decedent's death. Steiger v. Burroughs, 878 P.2d 131 (Colo. App. 1994).
