Pennsylvania Rule 10.5. Notice to Beneficiaries and Intestate Heirs is a procedural rule that requires the executor or administrator of a will, or the personal representative of an intestate estate, to provide notice to all beneficiaries and intestate heirs of the estate. There are two types of Pennsylvania Rule 10.5. Notice to Beneficiaries and Intestate Heirs. The first is a “notice with summons” which requires the executor or administrator to provide a notice to the beneficiaries and intestate heirs that includes a copy of the will, if any, as well as a summons requiring the recipient to appear before the court at a certain time and date to respond to the notice. The second type is a “simple notice” which requires the executor or administrator to provide a notice to the beneficiaries and intestate heirs that contains the information listed in the rule, such as the name, address, and telephone number of the executor or administrator, the name of the decedent, the date of death, and the date of probate. Both types of notices must be sent to the last known address of the beneficiaries and intestate heirs.
