Notice of hearing; request; provision of relevant materials by
personal representative
Sec. 6. (a) At any time after the issuance of letters, any person
interested in the estate may serve upon the personal representative,
or upon his attorney, and file with the clerk of the court where the
proceedings are pending with a written admission or proof of such
service, a written request, stating that he desires written notice by
ordinary mail of the time and place of all hearings on the settlement
of accounts, on final distribution, and on any other matters for which
any notice is required by law, by rule of court, or by an order in the
particular case. The applicant for such notice must include in his
written request his post office address or that of his attorney. Unless
the court otherwise directs, upon filing such request such person
shall be entitled to notice of all hearings for which any notice is
required as aforesaid, or of such of those hearings as he designates
in his request.
(b) Upon petition by an interested person, the court having
jurisdiction over the estate may, in its discretion, under such terms
and conditions as the court considers appropriate, order the personal
representative to provide that interested person with relevant
materials specified in the court's order.
