As amended through May 18, 2022

Rule 2.9 - Confirmation Of Accounts/Schedules For Distribution

(a) Accounts. If no objections are filed, or if a written approval of all interested parties who may be affected thereby is attached to the Account, then the Account shall be forwarded by the Clerk of the Orphans' Court to the Court for approval.

(b) Schedules for Distribution.

1. Filing.

The Court in the adjudication, when requested or found advisable, or in any case when real estate is to be awarded in kind, may direct the accountant to file a schedule of distribution in conformity with the awards of the adjudication. Attached to such schedule when filed shall be a certification by the accountant and counsel for the accountant:

(a) That the schedule is correct and in accordance with the adjudication;

(b) That the notice of the filing thereof has been duly given, or that the same is unnecessary by reason of a written approval of the schedule filed therewith by all interested parties affected thereby or by counsel of record.

2. Notice.

Notice of the filing of a schedule of distribution shall be given in writing, together with a copy of the schedule, prior to the filing thereof, to all interested parties who may be affected thereby, or their counsel of record, who do not attach or file their written approval with the schedule. Proof of notice shall be filed with the Court as set forth in Pennsylvania Orphans' Court Rule 4.3.

3. Confirmation.

Confirmation of a schedule of distribution shall be in the same manner as Monroe County O.C. Rule 2.9(a) pertaining to Accounts.

4. Objections.

Written objections, if any, to a schedule of distribution shall be filed within twenty (20) days after the filing of the schedule and shall indicate in what respect the schedule is incorrect or fails to conform with the adjudication.
