18-C §3-309. Informal appointment proceedings; register not satisfied
Official statutory text
If the register is not satisfied that a requested informal appointment of a personal representative should be made because of failure to meet the requirements of sections 3‑307 and 3‑308 , or for any other reason, the register may decline the application. A declination of informal appointment is not an adjudication and does not preclude appointment in formal proceedings. [PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
