If the judge is satisfied that the matter requires
investigation, a citation must be issued to the executor or
administrator, requiring him to appear, at a time and place to be
therein specified to show cause why he should not give further
security. Notice of the citation together with a copy thereof must
be mailed by certified mail to the executor or administrator and his
attorney of record, if any, at least five (5) days before the return

leaving a copy of it at his last place of residence, or by such
publication as the judge may order.
