<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">I don’t mean to be contrary but where is the legal requirement or legal citation that a PR
<i>must</i> keep the heirs reasonably informed? I only know of the request for a Special Notice, the right to receive the inventory, and the right to request an accounting at the end. I guess you can try to remove the PR for malfeasance but I doubt failure
to adequately communicate rises to the level of malfeasance. Before I get flamed here, I know that a PR
<i>should</i> use full disclosure via the heirs as the standard to avoid problems BUT I’m asking about the
<i>legal obligation</i> to so.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Anyone have recent motion practice filings addressing a personal representative who believes because he has nonintervention powers, he does not have to keep the estate’s beneficiaries reasonably informed about the status of the estate despite
requests for information. For example, not disclosing to the beneficiaries that an offer was accepted on the estate’s farm property and of the closing date?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Interested in hearing how judges/commissioners are addressing this attitude that nonintervention authority means one can ignore requests for information.<o:p></o:p></p>
