633.32  Delinquent inventories and reports.

1.  On June 1 and December 1 of each year, the clerk shall notify the fiduciary and the fiduciary's attorney of any delinquent inventories or reports due by law in any pending estate, trust, guardianship, or conservatorship, and that unless such delinquent inventory or report is filed within sixty days thereafter, the matter shall be reported to the presiding judge. If the delinquent inventory is not filed within the time so specified, the fiduciary will be subject to removal under the provisions of section 633.65 of this Code.

2.  On August 1 and February 1 of each year, the clerk shall report to the presiding judge all delinquent inventories or reports in estates, trusts, guardianships, or conservatorships on which such notice has been given and no report or inventory has been filed in response to the notice.

3.  The reports required by this section shall indicate thereon all cases in which the attorney, or the fiduciary or the fiduciary's surety, is deceased, or insolvent, or cannot be found, or has removed from this state, and where it is shown by said reports, or it otherwise appears that there are no known assets belonging to the estate, the judge may, on the judge's own motion, order said estate closed, and may, in the judge's discretion, waive costs, or, on reasonable notice to the fiduciary, tax costs against the fiduciary. Such order shall not operate to prevent the reopening of such estate.
