3. The notice of hearing of the petition for authority to administer the estate pursuant to NRS 143.300 to 143.815, inclusive, whether included in the petition for appointment or in a separate petition, must include a statement in substantially the following form:

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. This will avoid the need to obtain court approval for many actions taken in connection with the estate. However, before taking certain actions, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or have consented to the proposed action. Independent administration authority will be granted unless good cause is shown why it should not be.
