How often courts cite this section

citing decisions per year

Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

1. If a will is offered for probate and it appears there are minors or unborn members of a class who are interested, or if it appears there are other interested persons who reside out of the county and are unrepresented, the court may, whether there is a contest or not, appoint an attorney for them.

2. If a person for whom an attorney has been appointed, pursuant to subsection 1, retains counsel and notifies the court of the retention, the court shall enter an order relieving the court-appointed attorney of further obligation to represent the person.
