The ending date of the accounting period for any accounting to which this rule applies shall be as follows:
(1) For an interim accounting, any date selected by the fiduciary, including a fiscal or calendar year, or as may be determined by the court.
(2) For the accounting of a personal representative who has resigned or has been removed, the date the personal representative’s letters are revoked.
(3) For a curator who has been replaced by a successor fiduciary, the date of appointment of the successor fiduciary.

An objection shall be in writing and shall state with particularity the item or items to which the objection is directed and the grounds upon which the objection is based.
(d) Service of Objections. The objecting party shall serve a copy of the objection on the fiduciary filing the accounting and other interested persons.
(e) Disposition of Objections and Approval of Accountings. The court shall sustain or overrule any objection filed as provided in this rule.

(f) Substantiating Documents. On reasonable written request, the fiduciary shall permit an interested person to examine documents substantiating items in any accounting to which this rule applies.
(g) Supplemental Accountings. The court, on its own motion or on that of any interested person, may require a fiduciary who has been replaced by a successor fiduciary to file a supplemental accounting, the beginning date of which shall be the ending date of the accounting as specified in subdivision (a) of this rule and the ending date of which is the date of delivery of all of the estate’s property to the successor fiduciary, or such other date as the court may order.
(h) Verification. All accountings shall be verified by the fiduciary filing the accounting.
