(a) If the personal representative is a creditor of the
decedent he shall file his claim as other creditors, and the
court shall appoint a competent person as temporary
administrator to represent the estate in the matter of allowing
or disallowing the claim. The same procedure shall be followed
in the case of co-representatives where all the representatives
are creditors of the estate. If one of the co-representatives is
not a creditor of the estate, the disinterested representative
shall represent the estate in the matter of allowing or
disallowing the claim against the estate by a co-representative.

     (b) The temporary administrator, after investigation,
shall file a report with the court recommending the allowance or
disallowance of the claim. Unless the court allows the claim, it
shall be disposed of as a contested claim in accordance with
W.S. 2-7-717 through 2-7-719.
