Section 1206. Service of notice and petition

  1. The notice and petition
  shall be served upon the clerk of the court into  which  or  into  whose
  registry  the  fund  or property has been paid or deposited or which has
  control or custody thereof, or which has jurisdiction to make orders for
  the payment of such money to the rightful owners thereof, together  with
  a  notice  that no personal claim is made against him, and also upon the
  United States attorney for the district in which such court is located.
    2. The notice shall be  served  by  publication,  as  hereinafter  set
  forth,  upon the other respondents described in subdivisions (a) and (b)
  of section twelve hundred four of this act. The court, upon finding that
  the petition sufficiently sets forth the facts  required  under  section
  twelve  hundred  one  of  this  article,  may  make  any  or  all of the
  presumptions set forth in such section and make an order directing  that
  the  notice  be  served upon such respondents by publication thereof not
  less than once in each of four successive weeks in two newspapers in the
  English language designated in the order as most likely to  give  notice
  to  such owners or claimants, which newspapers shall be published in the
  county in which the escheat proceeding shall be commenced, and  also  by
  publication  thereof  in the state bulletin as provided in the executive
  law.
