§ 3003. Preliminary Distribution: Hearing; Order.

If, at the hearing referred to in Section 3001(b) of this Title, it

appears that all of the allegations of the petition are true, that the estate is

but little indebted, and that the legacy, devise or share of the estate or any

portion thereof may be distributed without loss to the creditors or injury

to the estate or any person interested therein, the Superior Court shall

make an order requiring the personal representative to deliver the share,

or shares, of the estate or such portion or portions thereof as the Superior

Court may direct, to the person or persons entitled thereto, upon

receiving from such person or persons a bond or bonds executed and

payable to the personal representative, in such sum or sums as the

Superior Court may designate, conditioned on the payment whenever

required of the proportion of the debts due from the estate, not exceeding

the amount of the legacy or portions of the estate so ordered to be

delivered, or upon receiving from such person some other form of

security, such as is required of a personal representative under the

provisions of Chapter 20 of this Title; or if the time for filing or

presenting claims has expired and all claims are paid or sufficiently

secured the Superior Court may so order distribution with or without

bond or other form of security, as it may determine.
