Idaho State Statutes - Idaho Attorney Directory

DUTY OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE -- INFORMATION TO HEIRS AND
DEVISEES. Not later than thirty (30) days after his appointment every personal
representative, except any special administrator, shall give information of
his appointment to the heirs and devisees, including, if there has been no
formal testacy proceeding and if the personal representative was appointed on
the assumption that the decedent died intestate, the devisees in any will
mentioned in the application for appointment of a personal representative. The
information shall be delivered or sent by ordinary mail to each of the heirs
and devisees whose address is reasonably available to the personal
representative. The duty does not extend to require information to persons who
have been adjudicated in a prior formal testacy proceeding to have no interest
in the estate. The information shall include the name and address of the
personal representative, indicate that it is being sent to persons who have or
may have some interest in the estate being administered, indicate whether bond
has been filed, and describe the court where papers relating to the estate are
on file. The personal representative's failure to give this information is a
breach of his duty to the persons concerned but does not affect the validity
of his appointment, his powers or other duties. A personal representative may
inform other persons of his appointment by delivery or ordinary first class
mail.
