Yes. The heirs-at-law should receive a notice of the time and date of the hearing for the appointment of the Administrator. The notice should contain some language about what they should do if they have any objections to the appointment of the person who filed the petition. There is a statutory time period during which an objection must be made and that too is recited on the notice. Anyone who wishes to object must follow those instructions to the letter.
