Paternity case
Hello,
This comes from a paternity case related to an estate. As Madame xxx is the deceased, assignée can't mean "summons" can it?
En l'espèce, Madame xxx ne fut assignée dans le cadre de la présente procédure qu'en raison du fait qu'elle est héritière de son mari prédécédé, Monsieur xxx.
Thanks for any help!

received notice (via her estate)
Akin to third-party notice, but not called impleader in UK civil - only criminal - cases.
If she is already dead, then - as per the Harvard Uni. Socratic method of questions-and-answers law lecture movie - it is her estate (acting 'by' her PRs - personal representatives) who would have been given notice.

Example sentence:
Can a deceased person's surviving spouse pursue this class action suit? My husband died in 2010. Today 1/23/12 I received a notice that he may be part of the Discover class action suit.

summoned to appear
It sounds like she was the subject of an assignation (summons) because she was the heir of her late husband's estate, and the putative child's claim against the estate therefore affected her interests.
That's a fancy legal way of saying that she had to be formally notified about the proceedings because the plaintiff (the alleged child of her late husband) was seeking money from her late husband's estate, and that money was now legally hers because her husband had died.

Note from asker:

Re your comment on Simon's translation, she isn't dead; she survives her late husband and inherited his estate.

: 'Madame xxx is the deceased'. The post-deceased wife would have to be raised from the dead like Lazarus to enter an appearance. The mechanics in France and elsewhere are routinely that her own estate is deemed to receive the notice or summons.
