(2) The Personal Representative may be serving without posting a bond with the court. You have the right to petition the court to set a bond for your protection. You also have the right to petition the court to remove a corporate Personal Representative not later than thirty (30) days after this notice if the ownership or control of the corporate Personal Representative has changed since the execution of the decedent’s will. (3) The Personal Representative will not obtain court approval of any action, including the amount of attorney’s or Personal Representative’s fees. (4) Within two (2) months after the appointment of the Personal Representative, the Personal Representative must prepare an inventory of the estate’s assets. You have the right to request and receive a copy of this inventory from the Personal Representative.
