Copy as parenthetical citation

(2) If the petition includes a request for a different method of compensation under this section:

(a) The petitioner shall give notice and a copy of the petition to the distributees of the estate, the Department of Human Services and the Oregon Health Authority. The notice shall allow 20 days for filing objections to the petition unless the court allows a different time.

(b) A judgment appointing a personal representative under ORS 113.035 may not be entered until the court has held a hearing on the petition including the request or the time for filing objections to the petition has expired without an objection being filed.

(3) If the court allows the petitioner’s request for a different method of compensation under this section, the personal representative may, at any time prior to or at the time of the filing of the final account or the statement in lieu of the final account under ORS 116.083, elect to be compensated as provided in ORS 116.173 (3).

(4) Failure by the department, the authority or a distributee to object to a request for a different method of compensation under this section does not preclude the department, the authority or a distributee from objecting to the amount of the personal representative’s compensation set forth in the final account filed under ORS 116.083 on the basis that the compensation exceeds the reasonable value of the services actually provided by the personal representative.
