Rule 25 Approvals by Interested Persons
Part A. General Rules | A-VII. Accountings
Rule Text
Prior to presentation of an accounting to the court for approval, the petitioner may secure and present with the petition for approval of accounts the approvals of the accounting by interested persons. If all interested persons approve the accounting and their approvals accompany the petition, the petition may be presented and the accounting approved on an ex parte basis. If approvals of fewer than all individual interested persons are obtained and the petitioner desires the court not to appoint a guardian ad litem or master, then the petitioner's counsel shall submit an affidavit regarding the effort made to secure approval of the interested persons and the court may appoint a guardian ad litem for any minor, unborn, and unascertained beneficiaries, and may appoint a master to review the actions and accounting of the fiduciary on behalf of the court. Where the accounting must be approved by the attorney general acting as parens patriae, the court shall appoint a master to review the actions and accounting of the fiduciary on behalf of the court.
