Hearing

Hearings upon annual accounts may be ordered upon the request of any interested party. A hearing shall be held on such annual accounts at least once every five years and notice shall be provided in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 501B.18, or its successor. In trusts of the value of $50,000 or less, the five year hearing requirement may be waived by the court in its discretion. Any hearing on an account may be ex parte if each party in interest then in being shall execute waiver of notice in writing which shall be filed with the court administrator. Such five year hearings shall be held within 150 days after the end of the accounting period of each fifth annual unallowed account, and the court administrator shall notify each trustee and the Court if the hearing is not held within such 150 day period. (Amended effective January 1, 1993; amended effective July 1, 2015.) Published by the Revisor of Statutes under Minnesota Statutes, section 3C.08, subdivision 1. 287 GENERAL RULES OF PRACTICE MINNESOTA COURT RULES Advisory Committee Comment - 1995 Amendment Rule 417.02, as amended, refers to trustees subject to the continuing supervision of the district courts. The rule is intended to apply to all trusts subject to the continuing supervision of the district courts pursuant to Minnesota Statutes 1994, section 501B.23, and the earlier reference to jurisdiction is deleted to avoid confusion, since all Minnesota trusts are subject to the district court's jurisdiction. Advisory Committee Comment - 2015 Amendments This rule was derived from Rule 28 of the Code of Rules for the District Courts. The rule is recodified with the probate court rules because it relates to actions brought in the now-unified district court.
