Petition to settle and allow; petition to distribute
Sec. 5. At the time of filing of an account the personal
representative shall petition the court to settle and allow his account;
and if the estate is in a proper condition to be closed, he shall also
petition the court for an order authorizing him to distribute the estate,
and shall specify in the petition the persons to whom distribution is
to be made and the proportions or parts of the estate to which each
is entitled. Petitions to settle or to distribute may be incorporated in
the account in the absence of a court rule or order to the contrary.
