For purposes of D.C. Code § 20-731(a) (2012 Repl.), "an heir or legatee" refers to intestate or testate cases, as appropriate. This rule does not require the waiver by heirs in a testate case.
D.C. Code § 20-403(b) (2012 Repl.) permits the court, after notice and a hearing, to order supervised administration.
