Sec. 13. Upon the filing of a supplemental report of distribution
together with receipts or other evidence satisfactory to the court that
distribution has been made as ordered in the final decree, the court
shall enter an order of discharge. The discharge so obtained shall
operate as a release from the duties of personal representative and
shall operate as a bar to any suit including suits by persons under
disability, against the personal representative and his sureties except
suits which are commenced within one (1) year from the date of the
discharge and are based solely upon alleged mistake, fraud or wilful
misconduct on the part of the personal representative.
