Sec. 736. CORRECTION WHEN INVENTORY, APPRAISEMENT, OR LIST OF CLAIMS ERRONEOUS OR UNJUST    


Latest version.
  • A person interested in an estate who deems an inventory, appraisement, or list of claims returned by the guardian erroneous or unjust in any particular form may file a written complaint that sets forth and points out the alleged erroneous or unjust items and cause the guardian to be cited to appear before the court and show cause why the errors should not be corrected. On the hearing of a complaint filed under this section, if the court is satisfied from the evidence that the inventory, appraisement, or list of claims is erroneous or unjust in any particular form as alleged in the complaint, the court shall enter an order that specifies the erroneous or unjust items and the corrections to be made and that appoints an appraiser to make a new appraisement correcting the erroneous or unjust items and requires the return of the new appraisement not later than the 20th day after the date of the order. The court may also, on its own motion or on motion of the guardian of the estate, have a new appraisal made for the purposes described by this section.
