imposed by any proceeding; to the Attorney General if the trust is for
a benevolent public purpose; and to any other person whom the court
may order to be given notice.
(b) The form of notice required shall be in the form of a summons
as provided for in the Indiana Rules of Procedure or in such other

ascertained by the party seeking service shall, in addition to such
published notice, be served by registered or certified mail or other
public means by which a return receipt may be requested.
(e) The court shall give notice in any case in which it acts on its
own motion.
(f) Any person not under a legal disability or a personal
representative may waive in writing notice of the proceeding.

notice of the proceeding, even though less than all interested persons
receive notice.
