hearing; costs.

     (a) Any time after thirty (30) days from expiration of
time for filing claims the personal representative or any
distributee may file a petition with the court for partial or
complete distribution of any share of the estate.

     (b) Notice of the petition and the time set by the court
for hearing shall be given to the personal representative and to
all persons entitled to notice as provided in W.S. 2-7-205. At
the hearing any other distributee may resist the petition or
make a similar petition for himself.

     (c) If it appears to the court there is property ready for
distribution held by the personal representative over and above
the amount necessary to pay the costs of administration and all
just claims and taxes of the estate, the court shall direct the
personal representative to distribute to each distributee his
proportion of the property ready for distribution. The court may
require each distributee to give bond to secure payment of his
proportion of the debts and taxes of the estate.

     (d) All costs, expenses and fees incurred in this
proceeding shall be paid by the estate unless the court
determines the proceeding was instituted capriciously and
without merit, whereupon the court shall order all costs,
expenses and fees be paid into the estate by the party
instituting the same.
