If a sole executor or
sole universal or residuary legatee, or a person who would be solely entitled to
the estate of the intestate according to the rule for the distribution of intestates
estates applicable in the case of the deceased, be a minor or lunatic, letters of
administration with or without the will annexed, as the case may be, shall be
granted to the person to whom the care of his estate has been committed by
competent authority, or if there be no such person, to such other person as the
Court thinks fit to appoint, for the use and benefit of the minor or lunatic, until
he attains majority or becomes of sound mind, as the case may be.
