     485.12 Vacancy.  

    Vacancies in the office of the court administrator shall be 
 filled by appointment by the senior judge, of the county where 
 there is more than one judge therein; in judicial districts 
 containing more than one county and having more than one judge 
 therein, such appointment be made by the resident judge in said 
 county, or, if there be no resident judge, by the next nearest 
 judge of said district; and by the judge of the district court 
 in judicial districts having only one judge.  

    The appointee shall give the bond and take the oath 
 required by law, and shall hold office for the balance of such 
 entire term for which the appointee shall be appointed, and 
 until a successor qualifies.  In case any such court 
 administrator is adjudged insane, the judge shall appoint a 
 competent person to act as court administrator in the court 
 administrator's place until the court administrator shall be 
 duly declared restored to sanity.  The person so appointed shall 
 take the oath and give the bond required by law of court 
 administrators of the district court, and shall be entitled to 
 the fees and emoluments of the office during the time the 
 appointee shall so act, and the appointee's acts shall have the 
 same force and effect as if performed by such court 
 administrator.
