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

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
