2-7-725. Claim to community property; perfection of title to decedent's interest in community property.

(a) If the title to any property to which this act applies is held by the surviving spouse at the time of the decedent's death, the personal representative or an heir or devisee of the decedent may institute an action to perfect title to the property. The personal representative has no fiduciary duty to discover or attempt to discover whether any property held by the surviving spouse is property to which this act applies unless a written demand is made by an heir, devisee or creditor of the decedent.

(b) If an heir, devisee or creditor of the decedent claims that there is any property to which this section applies, the party shall file a written demand in duplicate with the clerk of court within the time limited in the notice to creditors, demanding that the personal representative investigate such matter and report thereon to the court. Any demand not filed within the time limited shall be forever barred, and all claims and causes of action arising out of such demand shall likewise be forever barred.
