a personal representative of a decedent shall, when requested so to do
by such representative, or any creditor, legatee, or distributee of the
decedent, appoint a time and place for receiving proof of debts or de-
mands against the said decedent or his estate, and twenty days before
the said time post a notice of such time and place at the front door of
the courthouse of the court of the county or city wherein such fiduciary
qualified, and also, if in a county, at two or more public places in the
neighborhood of the place where the account is to be taken.

Section 5423. How and when commissioners to post list of
fiduciaries, whose accounts are before them for settlement; no account
to be completed until this is done—Every commissioner shall, on the
first day of any circuit or corporation court of his county or corporation,
or on the first Monday in any month, post at the front door of the court-
house of such circuit or corporation court a list of the fiduciaries whose
accounts are before him for settlement, stating the names of such
fiduciaries, the nature of their accounts, whether as personal representa-
tive, guardian, curator, committee, or trustee, and the name of their
decedents, or of the persons for whom they are guardians, curators, or
committees, or under whose deed or other instrument of trust they are
acting. No account of any fiduciary shall be completed by any com-
missioner until ten days after the list containing the name of said
fiduciary as aforesaid shall have been so posted.
