In the event such petition has not been brought by the trustee, donee or person or corporation having custody or possession of such property, then service shall also be made upon such trustee, donee or person or corporation having custody or possession of such property. Said order shall further fix a date not less than thirty days subsequent to said order upon which said heir in intestacy, legatee, donee or the attorney general, as the case may be, shall show cause why the prayer in the petition shall not be granted. Service of a certified copy of said petition and order shall be made as aforesaid not later than fifteen days prior to the date set for said hearing.
