Objections to probate
Sec. 16. Prior to the admission of a will to probate, written
objections to its probate alleging that such objections are not made
for vexation or delay may be filed in the court having jurisdiction
over the probate of the will by any interested person. No notice of the
filing of such objection need be given. The clerk shall note such
filing of an objection in the estate docket and copy such objections
in the will record. If such will is thereafter offered for probate, it
shall be impounded by the clerk, copied in the will record, and its
probate continued for thirty (30) days. If an action to resist the
probate of such will is not commenced within thirty (30) days, such
will may be admitted to probate without notice.
