N.Y. Abandoned Property Law § 1206: Service of notice and petition

§ 1206. Service of notice and petition. 1. The notice and petition

shall be served upon the clerk of the court into which or into whose

registry the fund or property has been paid or deposited or which has

control or custody thereof, or which has jurisdiction to make orders for

the payment of such money to the rightful owners thereof, together with

a notice that no personal claim is made against him, and also upon the

United States attorney for the district in which such court is located.

2. The notice shall be served by publication, as hereinafter set

forth, upon the other respondents described in subdivisions (a) and (b)

of section twelve hundred four of this act. The court, upon finding that

the petition sufficiently sets forth the facts required under section

twelve hundred one of this article, may make any or all of the

presumptions set forth in such section and make an order directing that

the notice be served upon such respondents by publication thereof not

less than once in each of four successive weeks in two newspapers in the

English language designated in the order as most likely to give notice

to such owners or claimants, which newspapers shall be published in the

county in which the escheat proceeding shall be commenced, and also by

publication thereof in the state bulletin as provided in the executive

law.
