§ 164. INVENTORY, APPRAISEMENT, AND LIST OF CLAIMS.  The 
surviving spouse, with the assistance of the appraisers, if any be 
appointed, shall make out a full, fair, and complete inventory, 
appraisement, and list of claims of the community estate as in other 
administrations, shall attach thereto a list of all indebtedness 
owing by said community estate to other parties, giving the amount 
of each debt and the name of the party or parties to whom it is 
owing, and his or their postoffice address, and shall return same to 
the court within ninety (90) days after the date of the order 
appointing appraisers, if any be appointed, unless a longer time 
shall be granted by the court.  If no appraisers be appointed, such 
return shall be made within ninety (90) days after the date of the 
application for community administration, unless a longer time 
shall be granted by the court.  In either event, the court may, for 
good cause shown, require the filing of the inventory and 
appraisement within a shorter period of time.  Such inventory, list 
of claims, and list of indebtedness of such community estate shall 
be sworn to by said surviving spouse, and said inventory, 
appraisement, and list of claims owing said community estate shall 
be sworn to by said appraisers, if any appraisers have been 
appointed.
