        (a)  General assets.--Every personal representative shall
     file with the register a verified inventory of all real and
     personal estate of the decedent, except real estate outside of
     this Commonwealth. An ancillary personal representative shall
     include in the inventory only assets for which he is
     responsible.
        (b)  Real estate outside of Commonwealth.--The inventory
     shall include at the end a memorandum of real estate outside of
     this Commonwealth. The memorandum, at the election of the
     personal representative, may indicate the value of each item of
     real estate included therein, but the values so fixed shall not
     be extended into the total of the inventory or included as real
     estate in subsequent accountings.
        (c)  Time for filing.--The personal representative shall file
     his inventory no later than the date he files his account or the
     due date, including any extension, for the filing of the
     inheritance tax return for the estate, whichever is earlier. Any
     party in interest in the estate may request the filing of an
     inventory at an earlier date by writing delivered to the
     personal representative or his attorney in which event an
     inventory shall be filed within three months after the
     appointment of the personal representative or within 30 days
     after the request, whichever is later. The court, upon cause
     shown, may direct the filing of an inventory at any time.
