(E) SALE OF PROPERTY.

IF A MAJORITY IN RELATION TO VALUE FAILS TO APPEAR
ON THE APPOINTED DAY, OR APPEAR AND OBJECT TO THE
DISTRIBUTION SUGGESTED, OR IF THE COURT CONSIDERS A SALE
OF PART OR ALL OF THE PROPERTY MORE APPROPRIATE AND
ADVANTAGEOUS, THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE SHALL MAKE THE
SALE OR SALES AND DIVIDE THE PROCEEDS, TOGETHER WITH
UNSOLD PROPERTY, AS THE COURT DIRECTS.

(C)   PROCEDURE WHEN AN INTERESTED PERSON IS NOT
KNOWN.

IN THE EVENT THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE HAS REASON

TO BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE ONE OR MORE INTERESTED

PERSONS WHOSE NAMES OR ADDRESSES ARE NOT KNOWN TO HIM, OR

IF IT IS NOT KNOWN TO HIM IF AN INTERESTED PERSON IS

STILL SURVIVING, HE MAY APPOINT A MEETING OF ALL
INTERESTED PERSONS TO BE HELD ON A DAY THE COURT
DESIGNATES.

(D)   NOTICE OF MEETING.

THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE SHALL GIVE NOTICE TO ALL
INTERESTED PERSONS KNOWN TO HIM, AND SHALL PUBLISH A
NOTICE OF THE MEETING ONCE A WEEK IN THREE SUCCESSIVE
WEEKS, IN A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION IN THE
COUNTY OF HIS APPOINTMENT, STATING THE TIME, DATE,
PLACE, AND PURPOSE OF THE MEETING WHICH SHALL BE HELD NO
SOONER THAN 20 DAYS AFTER THE FIRST PUBLICATION. THE
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE SHALL ALSO TAKE OTHER STEPS AND
MAKE OTHER EFFORTS TO LEARN THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF
ADDITIONAL INTERESTED PERSONS AS THE COURT CONSIDERS
APPROPRIATE UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

(E)   DISTRIBUTION OF NET ESTATE.

ON THE DATE OF THE MEETING, DISTRIBUTION OF THE NET
ESTATE SHALL BE MADE UNDER THE DIRECTION AND CONTROL OF
THE COURT. DISTRIBUTION BY THE PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DIRECTION OF THE COURT AT THE
MEETING PROTECTS AND INDEMNIFIES THE PERSONAL
REPRESENTATIVE ACTING IN OBEDIENCE TO IT.
