In many cases, a personal representative can be appointed without attending a court hearing.

A hearing is not required if there are no objections to an application or petition to become a personal representative, and the court finds that the information on the documents filed is satisfactory. The court will simply issue the order appointing the personal representative. 

If, however, the person wishing to be appointed does not have statutory priority or there is an objection to their appointment by another party, a hearing may be necessary.
