Notice Of Hearing On Appointment Of Fiduciary {4.4}

FORM 4.4 – NOTICE OF HEARING ON APPOINTMENT OF FIDUCIARY. This form is used by the Probate Court of Summit County, Ohio, to notify individuals who may have a right to administer the estate of a deceased person that an application has been filed by someone seeking appointment as the fiduciary (administrator or executor) of that estate. The notice informs these individuals of the date, time, and location of the court hearing where the appointment will be considered. It also advises them that if they wish to be appointed instead, they must apply to the court; otherwise, it will be assumed that they waive their right to administer the estate. The form emphasizes the court's discretion to appoint any suitable and competent person, giving priority to those with legal standing. Additionally, if a person believes the applicant is unfit for the role, they are encouraged to attend the hearing and inform the court. The form includes a Return of Service section to document proof that the notice was served to the appropriate individuals by certified mail. www.FormsWorkflow.com
