withdrawn, returned or destroyed as hereinafter provided in this Section.

Any voucher filed with the Clerk of the Superior Court may be

withdrawn by the personal representative or by the personal

of the Superior Court, but it must be produced on demand, unless

Superior Court and has served a copy of the request on the personal

representative or on the personal representative's attorney within two (2)

years from the time the decree of final distribution has become final. In

the event such a request has been so filed, the Clerk of the Superior

Court or the personal representative or the personal representative's

attorney may, unless otherwise ordered by the Superior Court, destroy

the vouchers after four (4) years from the time the decree of final

distribution has become final or the Clerk of the Superior Court may
