Do I have to file an Inventory or just show it?

The filing of an inventory is only required for supervised estates or conservatorships. It must be shown to the court on unsupervised estates, but it does not need to be filed.  However the court will accept the Inventory for filing on unsupervised estates, if the personal representative requests.
