After probate of any will, letters testamentary shall be granted to the person or persons therein appointed executor or executors; if a part of the persons thus appointed refuse to act, or be disqualified, the letters shall be granted to the other persons therein appointed. If all such persons refuse to act or be disqualified, letters of administration shall be granted to the person to whom administration would have been granted if there had been no will; when there are two or more persons named executors in a will none shall have power to act as such except those who give bond.
