Duty to take possession of estate and collect debts.
1. A personal representative shall take into possession all the estate of the decedent, real and personal, except that exempted as provided in this title, and shall collect all receivables due the decedent or the estate.
2. For the purpose of bringing actions to quiet title or for partition of the estate, the possession of the personal representative shall be deemed the possession of the heirs or devisees. The possession of heirs or devisees is subject, however, to the possession of the personal representative for all other purposes.
