Inventory and appraisement or record of value to be made and filed; waiver; request for list of assets; copy mailed to interested heirs and devisees; redacted inventory; court order for inventory

1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, every personal representative shall prepare and file with the clerk a true inventory and appraisement or record of value of all the assets of the decedent that have come to the possession or knowledge of the personal representative, within 120 days after the issuance of letters, unless the court extends the time for good cause shown. The requirement of preparing and filing an inventory or an appraisement or a verified record of value, or both, may be waived by the unanimous written consent of all interested persons. 2. Notwithstanding the provisions of this section, an interested person may provide a written request to the personal representative at any time 60 days or more after the issuance of letters which seeks a list of the assets of the estate known to the personal representative. The personal representative shall provide such information to the requesting interested party within 10 days after receipt of the written request. 3. Unless an interested heir requested and was provided a list of assets pursuant to subsection 2, the personal representative, within 10 days after filing the inventory with the clerk, shall mail a copy to all the interested heirs of an intestate estate, or to the devisees of a testate estate, or to both interested heirs and devisees, if a contest of the will of the decedent is pending. Proof of the mailing of the copies must be made and filed in the proceeding. 4. Notwithstanding the requirements set forth in this section, a personal representative may file a redacted inventory to protect the decedent or his or her estate or an interested person. Such an inventory may redact any account numbers, social security numbers and values. Upon request by the court or an interested person, the personal representative shall make the full inventory without redaction available for inspection. 5. This section must not be construed to interfere with the authority of a court to order a personal representative to provide the court with information sufficient to identify the assets of an estate and the value thereof that is subject to probate administration, including, without limitation, requiring the personal representative to submit an inventory to the court in camera, as the court deems necessary and appropriate.
