Costs in Action by or Against an Administrator

In an action prosecuted or defended by an executor, administrator, trustee of express trust, or a person expressly authorized by law; costs may be recovered as in action by and against a person prosecuting or defending in his own right; but such costs must, by the judgment, be made chargeable only upon the estate, fund, or party represented, unless the court directs the same to be paid by the plaintiff or defendant, personally, for mismanagement or bad faith in the action or defense.
