Causes for suspending appointment of personal representative. If a court has reason to believe, from its own knowledge or from credible information, that a personal representative:
1. Has wasted, converted to the personal representative’s own use or mismanaged, or is about to waste or convert to the personal representative’s own use, the property of the estate committed to the personal representative’s charge;
2. Has committed or is about to commit any wrong or fraud upon the estate;
3. Has become disqualified to act;
4. Has wrongfully neglected the estate;
5. Has a conflict of interest with the estate; or
6. Has unreasonably delayed the performance of necessary acts in any particular as personal representative,
Ęthe court may, by an order entered upon the minutes, suspend the powers of the personal representative until the matter can be investigated, or take such other action as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.
