Anyone who might share in the money, if it turns out not to be needed for debts, gets notice of the motion — except where R. 4:26-3's virtual representation rule lets someone else stand in for them. That notice comes with an account laying out the personal estate that's come into the personal representative's hands or knowledge, the debts, expenses, and other items paid or claimed as allowances, the balance currently on hand, and both the debts claimed to be due and any that are disputed.
