§ 34. SERVICE ON ATTORNEY.  If any attorney shall have 
entered his appearance of record for any party in any proceeding in 
probate, all citations and notices required to be served on the 
party in such proceeding shall be served on the attorney, and such 
service shall be in lieu of service upon the party for whom the 
attorney appears.  All notices served on attorneys in accordance 
with this section may be served by registered or certified mail or 
by delivery to the attorney in person.  They may be served by a party 
to the proceeding or his attorney of record, or by the proper 
sheriff or constable, or by any other person competent to testify.  
A written statement by an attorney of record, or the return of the 
officer, or the affidavit of any other person showing service shall 
be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.
