2. If a special administrator has been appointed, and thereafter a proceeding to contest a will before it is admitted to probate has been instituted, the court shall enter an order granting to the special administrator the additional powers, duties and obligations of an executor or administrator and requiring such additional bond as the court deems proper. The order is not appealable.
