2614
. (a) Within 30 days after the inventory and appraisal is
filed, the guardian or conservator or any creditor or other
interested person may file written objections to any or all
appraisals. The clerk shall set the objections for hearing not less
than 15 days after their filing.
(b) Notice of the hearing, together with a copy of the objections,
shall be given for the period and in the manner provided in Chapter
3 (commencing with Section 1460) of Part 1. If the appraisal was made
by a probate referee, the person objecting shall also mail notice of
the hearing and a copy of the objection to the probate referee at
least 15 days before the time set for the hearing.
(c) The court shall determine the objections and may fix the true
value of any asset to which objection has been filed. For the purpose
of this subdivision, the court may cause an independent appraisal or
appraisals to be made by at least one additional appraiser at the
expense of the estate or, if the objecting party is not the guardian
or conservator and the objection is rejected by the court, the court
may assess the cost of any such additional appraisal or appraisals
against the objecting party.
