Practice question
All current Section2 eligibility and jurisdictional requirements are stipulated. The judge considers a will, identifies the proper participants, hears debts, and directs distribution without appointing a general administrator. An heir claims the absence of that appointment alone voids everything. Which is best?
- The objection fails on that ground alone because Section2 expressly authorizes this summary route
- Every estate requires a general administrator despite Section2
- The heir’s objection automatically nullifies the will
- No court can determine heirs without a general administrator
- Distribution is valid even if every mandatory notice was omitted
