Demand for Notice

Demand for Notice is a written document filed in the court where the probate has been filed, or in district court of the county where they would be pending if commenced. The document must state the name of the decedent, the nature of the filing person's interest in the decedent's estate and that person's address. A personal representative filing an action in probate court is required to ask the district court clerk for that county if any person has filed a demand for notice relating to the decedent's estate. If a demand for notice has been filed with the district court, the personal representative is required to send a copy of everything filed with the court, including every order the judge signs, to the person who has demanded notice. Any interested person can also file a demand for noticewith the probate court after an estate has been filed with the court. After such demand has been filed, no order or filing to which the demand relates, shall be made or accepted without notice as prescribed in Section 45-1-401. For more information, see Section 45-3-204.
