(d) Who makes an appearance at a hearing of a proceeding involving the estate of a decedent or a testamentary trust, unless the appearance is made solely for the purpose of objecting to the jurisdiction of the court; or

(e) Who is a party to a proceeding commenced by a petition filed pursuant to NRS 153.031 if notice is given pursuant to NRS 155.010.
