Alle. Cnty. Pa. 710

Although petitioners may attach a proposed Final Plan for Abatement to the petition in lieu of a preliminary plan, and may present that Final Plan for Abatement at the initial conservatorship hearing, such methods may not allow adequate time for interested parties, heirs and others to object, interplead, and/or participate in the litigation. Rarely will it be appropriate for a petitioner to request the entry of the Final Plan of Abatement at the initial conservatorship hearing due to the extreme relief the petitioner is seeking, which may be to terminate the property rights of another who may not yet have notice of the petition.
