In all other circumstances, waivers and consents from all persons with higher or equal priority for appointment would have to be obtained in order for the person's nominee to serve as personal representative.
That is, a formal proceeding must be held to accept the nomination of a person without priority unless waivers and consents or notice of intent to seek appointment have been served on all persons with greater or equal priority.

 FHWA - MUTCD - INFORMATION: Optional Use of Acknowledgment Signs on Highway Rights-of-Way
In most cases, if the sign goes beyond recognizing the company's contribution to a particular highway service at a specific highway site or includes telephone numbers or internet addresses, the sign is more properly classified as an advertising sign and not an acknowledgment sign.
In fact, acknowledgment signs are the lowest priority of information-type signs and may only be placed where adequate spacing between higher priority signs is available.
If the placement of an acknowledgment sign conflicts with newly installed higher priority signs, or traffic signals, or temporary traffic control devices, or other priority devices, the acknowledgment sign should be removed, covered, or relocated.
