<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Five days is a great deal of time to allow them to object. Anyway to shorten to 24-48 hours. Because if they object, you now have a longer period to wait and might lose the buyer. Alternatively and likely
better, if you are allowed to enter into the REPSA with the condition precedent of obtaining court approval as outlined in the court order if necessary, this would work. You may want this clarified because I had a case where the heir objected to PR entering
into the proposed PSA subject to court approval (intervention estate) which was absurd because the objecting heir couldn’t outline how they were harmed. Wasted a bunch of time and money.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

lots of real estate, which needs to be liquidated and sold. The heirs are represented and have been very contentious. There's been a mediation where the current personal representative is resigning and I am a being appointed by the court (and the attorneys)
as substitute personal representative to oversee the liquidation of the estate. I have a good working relationship with the attorneys for the contentious heirs.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

minimize disputes, minimize expense to the estate, and generally protect myself from the contentious heirs? The proposed order does have currently a show cause provision as to the sale of real estate, where I would provide notice to the heirs and their attorneys
as to any proposed sale and then would give them five days to object. If no objections then I have nonintervention powers to sell the real estate. If an objection then I can note a show cause hearing before the assigned judge as to why the property should
not be sold. Similar to a bankruptcy model.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
