If an absentee has left no corporeal property within the State, but there are debts or obligations due or owing the absentee from persons in the State, a petition may be filed as provided in section 8-101 , stating the nature and amount of the absentee's known debts and obligations and praying that a receiver may be appointed. Upon receipt of the petition, the court may issue a notice as provided in section 8-103 without issuing a warrant and may, upon the return of the notice and after a hearing, dismiss the petition or appoint a receiver and authorize and direct the receiver to demand and collect the absentee's debts and obligations.
The receiver shall give bond as provided in section 8-105 and shall hold the proceeds of the absentee's debts and obligations and all property received by the receiver and distribute the same as provided in this Part. [PL 2017, c. 402, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 2019, c. 417, Pt. B, §14 (AFF).]
