Upon the filing of the petition, the court shall issue a notice fixing the date, hour and location for a hearing to take place within sixty days.

At least fourteen days prior to the hearing, the minor, if age ten or older, shall be personally served with a copy of the notice and petition, and the petitioner shall mail a copy of the notice and petition to all entities and individuals age ten or older whose names and post office addresses appear in the petition. The court may order that no notice of hearing need be given if all persons entitled to notice waive notice of hearing and the court determines that it would be in the best interests of the minor and the minor’s estate to proceed without notice.
