probate proceedings, has become law
by receiving the governors signature.
1t is expected to simplify court proce
cure.
lone notice to all persons interested
serves for the entire proceedings, "
Senator Huber said. cit eliminates one
order, one notice and one publication,
thus saving about month besides
some expense. The law also provides a
minimum notice to creditors of four

time of probating estates by about
three months, shortening the time of
administration of estates one-third."
