      2.  Has committed or is about to commit any wrong or fraud upon the estate;

      3.  Has become disqualified to act;

      4.  Has wrongfully neglected the estate;

      5.  Has a conflict of interest with the estate; or

      6.  Has unreasonably delayed the performance of necessary acts in any particular as personal representative,

Ê the court may, by an order entered upon the minutes, suspend the powers of the personal representative until the matter can be investigated, or take such other action as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.
