R.I. Gen. Laws § 33-20-2: Notice as to appointment of receiver.

The court before appointing a receiver shall give at least thirty (30) days’ notice by publication in one or more newspaper published in the state, in the manner provided for petitions for appointment of administrators, and by mailing a copy of the notice to the last known address of the absentee. This notice shall be addressed to the absentee and to all persons who claim an interest in the property, and to all whom it may concern, citing them to appear at a time and place named and show cause why a receiver of the property of the absentee should not be appointed. The court may order other and further notice to be given within or outside the state.
