If ancillary letters be requested, process shall issue to the state tax commission, to all domiciliary creditors or domiciliaries claiming to be creditors and to such other persons entitled to letters or to designate an appointee as the court by order directs. The court may issue process generally to all creditors or persons claiming to be creditors who reside within the state, who shall be served in such manner as directed by the court.

3. If petitioner prays for ancillary probate of a will but does not ask that ancillary letters be issued, it shall be unnecessary to issue any process except to the state tax commission.
