appearance and objection by an interested person or person who may be affected
by the ownership of the property at any time prior to the entry of the court's

ownership of the property appears and files a timely objection, the court shall
proceed with the hearing on the petition; except that the court may continue the
hearing in its discretion or direct such further proceeding as the court may
determine. Otherwise, if after proper service pursuant to section 15-12-1303 there
are no objections filed to the petition, then the court may enter a judgment and
decree pursuant to this part 13 without a hearing.
