The probate court, on the court's own motion or on the motion of any interested person, and without notice, may remove an independent executor appointed under this subtitle when:
(1) the independent executor cannot be served with notice or other processes because:
(A) the independent executor's whereabouts are unknown;
(B) the independent executor is eluding service; or
(C) the independent executor is a nonresident of this state without a designated resident agent; or
(2) sufficient grounds appear to support a belief that the independent executor has misapplied or embezzled, or is about to misapply or embezzle, all or part of the property committed to the independent executor's care.
