(b) by order (with the consent of the person appointed) appoint a person to represent the estate for the purpose of the proceeding.
(2) An order under subrule (1), and a judgment or order subsequently given or made in the proceeding, binds the estate of the deceased person as it would had a personal representative of the deceased been a party.
