    1.  At any time after the issuance of letters testamentary or
 of administration upon a decedent's estate of appointment, any
 interested person interested in the estate proceeding may file
 with the clerk a written request, in triplicate, for notice of
 the time and place of all hearings in such estate proceeding
  for which notice is required by law, by rule of court, or by
 an order in such estate proceeding. The request for notice
 shall state the name, electronic mail address, and post office
 address of such person the requester and of the requester's
  and the name and post office address of the attorney, if
 any, for the party requesting the notice and the reason the
 requester is an interested person in the proceeding. The clerk
 shall docket the request, and transmit the duplicates to the
 personal representative of the estate of the decedent and to
 the personal representative's attorney of record, if any.
 Thereafter, the personal representative shall, unless otherwise
 ordered by the court, the fiduciary shall serve, by ordinary
 or electronic mail, a notice of each hearing upon such person,
 or requester and the person's requestor's attorney, if any, a
 notice of each hearing.
    2.  A person does not gain standing by filing a request for
 notice under this section.
