Full Text of Section 813.24
Plain-English Summary
Section 813.24 sets the notice requirements for proceedings under sections 813.22 to 813.34. Notice goes to all parties the court orders served, in the manner statutes or rules generally prescribe. In addition, the absentee must be served by a class 3 notice under chapter 985, published in the county of the absentee’s domicile, with the last insertion no fewer than ten and no more than twenty days before the hearing.
The original notice under section 813.23 (1) must also require anyone claiming an interest in the absentee’s property to file, within a time the court sets, a statement describing the nature and extent of that interest. Where the absentee is a person in military service who was not domiciled in Wisconsin immediately before that service, the court may instead order publication in the county where the person’s property is located.
