A special administrator
may be appointed:

person when necessary to protect the estate of a decedent prior to the
appointment of a general personal representative or if a prior appointment has
been terminated as provided in section 15-3-609 of this Part;
(b) In a formal proceeding by order of the court on the petition of any
interested person and finding, after notice and hearing, that appointment is
necessary to preserve the estate or to secure its proper administration
including its administration in circumstances where a general personal
representative cannot or should not act. If it appears to the court that an
emergency exists, appointment may be ordered without notice.
