RULE 695. NO RECEIVER OF IMMOVABLE PROPERTY APPOINTED WITHOUT

NOTICE

Except where otherwise provided by statute, no receiver shall be appointed without notice to take

charge of property which is fixed and immovable. When an application for appointment of a

receiver to take possession of property of this type is filed, the judge or court shall set the same

down for hearing and notice of such hearing shall be given to the adverse party by serving notice

thereof not less than three days prior to such hearing. If the order finds that the defendant is a

nonresident or that his whereabouts is unknown, the notice may be served by affixing the same in

a conspicuous manner and place upon the property or if that is impracticable it may be served in

such other manner as the court or judge may require.
