If the register is not satisfied that a requested informal appointment of a personal representative should be made because of failure to meet the requirements of section 3307 or 3308, or for another reason, the register may deny the application. A register’s denial of informal appointment is not an adjudication and does not preclude appointment in formal proceedings. If the application is denied, the register shall clearly state the reason for denial.
