SECTION 3-309 . INFORMAL APPOINTMENT PROCEEDINGS; REGISTRAR NOT SATISFIED.


SECTION 3-309  . INFORMAL APPOINTMENT PROCEEDINGS; REGISTRAR NOT SATISFIED. If the Registrar 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, he may decline the application. A declination of informal appointment is not an adjudication and does not preclude appointment in formal proceedings.
Comment
Authority to decline an application for appointment is conferred on the Registrar. Appointment of a personal representative confers broad powers over the assets of a decedent’s estate. The process of declining a requested appointment for unclassified reasons should be one which a registrar can use quickly and informally.
