The court shall also prescribe the manner of service of the notice of such hearing. 2. Notice by publication. In the case of proceedings against unknown persons or persons whose address or whereabouts are unknown, the court shall prescribe that notice may be served by publication within the time and in the manner provided by the rules of civil procedure. 3. No notice by posting. No notice shall be served at any time by posting. 4. Notice otherwise provided. In lieu of the foregoing, the notice may direct each interested party to file the party’s objections thereto in writing, if any, on or before a date certain, to be set out in the notice and to be not less than twenty days after the day the notice is served upon the party and that unless the party does so file objections in writing that the party will be forever barred from making any objections thereto. Said notice shall be served upon each interested party personally in compliance with the rules of civil procedure, or upon those parties not under legal disability by ordinary United States mail. In the event objections thereto are timely filed, the court shall fix the time and place of the hearing for the judicial determination of the issues raised. 5. Notice by mail.
