Code § 20-732(a) (1981) must be on the form maintained by the Register of Wills or a form that is substantially similar in content and format to that form.(b) INTERPRETATION OF "HEIR OR LEGATEE." For purposes of D.C. Code § 20-732(a) (1981), an "heir or legatee" refers to intestate or testate cases, as appropriate. Waivers by heirs are not required in a testate case.(c) EFFECT OF A RECEIPT. A receipt signed by an heir or legatee acknowledging payment in full of his or her interest in the estate will be deemed to be a waiver for purposes of D.C. Code § 20-732(a) (1981).(d) WAIVER OF RIGHT TO FILE OBJECTIONS. An heir or legatee may waive the right to a formal audit under D.C. Code § 20-732(a) (1981) and the right to file an objection to the account within 30 days of its filing as provided in Rule B-14(a). An heir or legatee who waives these rights may nevertheless demand a formal audit within 20 days of approval of the final account.Sup. Ct. R. D.C. app B R. R. B-14
