     § 765.  Service of citation.
        A citation to obtain jurisdiction of a person may be served
     by an adult person, or by the sheriff of the county wherein the
     citation issued, or by deputization of the sheriff of the county
     where the service may be had in any county of the Commonwealth,
     in the same manner as a writ of summons in an action of
     assumpsit. When no other time is specially fixed by the orphans'
     court division, the order awarding the citation shall be void
     unless the citation is issued within six months.
