Informal Appointment -- Power Of Clerk To Deny -- Effect Of Denial

(1) If the clerk is not satisfied that a requested informal appointment of a personal representative should be made because of failure to meet the requirements of 72-3-222, 72-3-223, and 72-3-225 or for any other reason, the clerk may decline the application. (2) A declination of informal appointment is not an adjudication and does not preclude appointment in formal proceedings.
