§ 29-1-6-5 — Construction of wills; petition

The court in which a will is probated shall have
jurisdiction to construe it. Such construction may be made on a petition
of the personal representative or of any other person interested in the
will; or, if a construction of the will is necessary to the determination
of an issue properly before the court, the court may construe the will in
connection with the determination of such issue. When a petition for
the construction of a will is filed during administration of the estate,
notice of the hearing thereon shall be given to interested persons. If the
estate has been closed prior to the filing of such petition, notice shall
be given as in civil actions.
Formerly: Acts 1953, c.112, s.605.
