When the interests of the estate of a deceased person will be jeopardized by the delay intervening between death and the appointment of an administrator or executor, the Probate Division of the Superior Court may, upon motion of an heir or next of kin, appoint a special administrator to act until an administrator or executor is appointed and qualified. The special administrator may continue operation of the business conducted by the deceased, including application for and operating under the transfer of any license held by the deceased for the dispensing of alcoholic beverages.
