§ 524.3-501 — Supervised Administration; Nature of Proceeding

Plain-Language Summary

Supervised administration is a court-overseen form of probate where the personal representative must get court approval before taking major actions like selling property or distributing assets.

524.3-501 SUPERVISED ADMINISTRATION; NATURE OF PROCEEDING.

Supervised administration is a single in rem proceeding to secure complete administration and settlement of a decedent’s estate under the continuing authority of the court which extends until entry of an order approving distribution of the estate and discharging the personal representative or other order terminating the proceeding. A supervised personal representative is responsible to the court, as well as to the interested parties, and is subject to directions concerning the estate made by the court on its own motion or on the motion of any interested party. Except as otherwise provided in this part, or as otherwise ordered by the court, a supervised personal representative has the same duties and powers as a personal representative who is not supervised.

Practical Notes

If there are concerns about how an estate is being managed, an interested person can request supervised administration. This gives the court more control over what the personal representative does.
