AND NOTICE TO 
CREDITORS

Notice is given that an Application for Informal Probate of Will and 
Informal Appointment of Personal Representative was filed with the 
Registrar, along with a Will dated January 6, 2017. The Registrar accepted the application and informally appointed JANETTE L. 
RIPPENTROP, whose address is 10504 50th Street West, Lonsdale, MN 55046, to serve as the personal 
representative of the Decedent’s estate.
Any heir, devisee or other interested person may be entitled to appointment as personal representative or may object to the 
appointment of the 
personal representative. Any objection to the appointment of the personal representative must be filed with the Court, and any properly filed objection will be heard by the Court after notice is provided to interested persons of the date of hearing on the objection.
Unless objections are filed, and unless the Court orders otherwise, the personal 
representative has the full power to administer the estate, including, after thirty (30) days from the issuance of letters testamentary, the power to sell, encumber, lease, or distribute any interest in real estate owned by the Decedent.
Notice is further given that, subject to Minn. Stat. § 524.3-801, all creditors having claims against the Decedent’s estate are required to present the claims to the personal representative or to the Court within four (4) months after the date of this notice or the claims will be barred.
