Rule 6.3. Notice to parties in interest.

 No account shall be confirmed unless the accountant has given written notice of the filing of the account and the call thereof for audit or confirmation to every unpaid claimant who has given written notice of his claim to the accountant and to every other person known to the accountant to have or claim an interest in the estate as creditor, beneficiary, heir or next of kin.

 The notice shall state the date, time and place of the audit to the extent then known; shall also state the last day to file objections to the account in counties where the local rules require written objections; and shall include a copy of the statement of proposed distribution in counties where accounts are not audited in open court.

   Explanatory Note

   Terminology in the first paragraph conforms with statutory requirements except that it also extends the benefit of notice to those who claim to have an interest even though the accountant may be convinced that they have no valid interest. The second paragraph should be helpful in outlining minimum requirements for notice. The words ‘‘to the extent known’’ is required in counties having more than one Orphans’ Court Judge, since the court room where a particular account will be audited may not be known when the notice is given.
