14-3204. Demand for notice of order or filing
concerning decedent's estate
Any person desiring notice of any order or filing pertaining to a decedent's estate
in which he has a financial or property interest may file a demand for notice with the
court at any time after the death of the decedent stating the name of the decedent, the
nature of his interest in the estate and the demandant's address or that of his
attorney. The demandant shall mail a copy of the demand to the personal representative
if one has been appointed. After filing of a demand, no order or filing to which the
demand relates shall be made or accepted without notice as prescribed in section 14-1401
to the demandant or his attorney. The validity of an order which is issued or filing
which is accepted without compliance with this requirement shall not be affected by the
error, but the petitioner receiving the order or the person making the filing may be
liable for any damage caused by the absence of notice. The requirement of notice arising
from a demand under this provision may be waived in writing by the demandant and shall
cease upon the termination of his interest in the estate.
