N.Y. Debtor & Creditor Law § 253: Citation to attend judicial settlement of accounts of committee or conservator

§ 253. Citation to attend judicial settlement of accounts of committee

or conservator. A citation may be issued by the court to all parties

interested in the estate of such incompetent person or conservatee, as

creditors or otherwise, requiring them to appear in court on some day

therein to be specified, to make proof of their several claims if they

be creditors, and to show cause why a settlement of accounts and

proceedings of the committee or conservator up to the date of such

hearing should not be had, and if no cause be shown, to attend the

settlement of such account. All such citations must be returnable in

court, and said court when not otherwise engaged shall always be open

for proceedings under this article. Such citations may be issued on

petition of such committee or conservator, or of one or more of his

sureties, or of a creditor of such incompetent person or conservatee, or

other person interested in said estate; and when issued on a petition of

a committee, conservator, or his surety, it may be issued at any time

after the appointment of such committee or conservator, in any other

case, after lapse of one year from the appointment of such committee or

conservator, or upon his removal or resignation. A citation issued on

petition of a creditor may be addressed to and served on the committee

or conservator alone, but on or after the return of such citation, the

committee or conservator may have a general citation issued to all

parties interested.
