Mo. Rev. Stat. § 473.230
If the surviving partner fails or refuses to file the inventory, list of liabilities, or appraisal or it appears proper to order the surviving partner to account to the probate division or to file a bond, the court shall order a citation to issue requiring the surviving partner to appear and show cause why he has not filed an inventory, list of liabilities, or appraisal or why he should not account to the court or file a bond. The citation shall be served not less than ten days before the return day designated therein and shall be served and returned in the manner provided for summons in civil cases. If the surviving partner neglects or refuses to file an inventory, list of liabilities, or appraisal or fails to account to the court or to file a bond, after he has been directed to do so, the court may commit him to jail until he complies with the order of the court. Where the surviving partner fails to file a bond after being ordered to do so by the court, the court may also appoint a receiver of the partnership estate with like powers and duties of receivers in chancery, and order the costs and expenses of the proceedings to be paid out of the partnership estate or out of the estate of decedent, or by the surviving partner personally or partly by each of the parties.
