The Auditors of Public Accounts shall immediately make an audit of the accounts of the previous estate administrator and, if such accounts are found in order, they shall so certify to the Commissioner of Administrative Services. No final accounting of the previous estate administrator shall be required, provided the successor estate administrator shall include in his next accounting all the doings in each estate since the last previous accounting. Before entering upon the duties of his office the estate administrator shall take the oath provided by law for public officers.
