1. ““As there is no vested right to succession, it is subject to such conditions and limitations as the Legislature may prescribe. [Citation.] The statutory requirements must be fol lowed and the courts are powerless to make exceptions not provided by the Legislature. [Citation.] Courts should be particularly alert to require compliance with statutory provisions relating to constructive notice, for a departure therefrom constitutes a denial of due process. [Citation.] In addition to the publication or posting of notice required by section 327, the Legislature has prescribed that copies of the notice ‘must’ be personally served or mailed in the stated manner. The terms employed are mandatory, and no exceptions are provided.”
