§ 712. Petition; process thereupon; suspension

A petition as prescribed in the preceding section must show that the

case is one therein specified and, if entertained, process must be

issued according to the prayer thereof to the fiduciary against whom

relief is sought and to such other persons as the court may direct.

Upon the issuance of process the court may by order suspend the

respondent wholly or partly from the exercise of his powers and

authority during the pendency of the proceeding. A certified copy of

the order so made must be served with the process, but from the time it

is made, the order is binding upon the respondent and upon all other

persons, without service thereof, subject to the exceptions and

limitations prescribed in 720 and 721.
