Adverse claims; notice; trial
Sec. 21. When any person claims any interest in any property in
the possession of the personal representative adverse to the estate,
the person may file, prior to the expiration of three (3) months after
the date of the first published notice to creditors, a petition with the
court having jurisdiction of the estate setting out the facts concerning
such interest, and thereupon the court shall cause such notice to be
given to such parties as it deems proper, and the case shall be set for
trial and tried as in ordinary civil actions.
